My old Loop buddy Dave Benson, recently let go by KFOG in San Francisco, has landed a new gig in Seattle at KMTT.
From this morning's Radio Online...
Dave Benson heads to Entercom's AAA KMTT-FM (103.7 The Mountain)/Seattle as Program Director. Most recently, he served as PD of Cumulus' AAA KFOG-FM/San Francisco and nine years with the company. He had also overseen co-owned Classic Rock KSAN-FM (100.7 The Bone). Before joining KFOG in June, 2000, Benson served as PD of KBCO-FM/Denver.
"Every radio format, like every business, has its leaders -- the two or three who are the best at what they do," said Entercom/Seattle OM Dave Richards. "In Triple A radio, Dave Benson is that person."
Dave Richards once worked in Chicago too. John Fisher, another long-time Chicagoan, is the afternoon guy at that station.
I've previously interviewed both
Benson &
Fisher at Chicago Radio Spotlight.
