After eleven years of hosting nights for Rock KISW-FM/Seattle, host and Music Director Jolene has made the decision to exit her position and move on to new horizons outside of radio, effective May 29. She leaves having created Seattle's top-rated nighttime show, bolstering the local music scene with Loud & Local, influencing the music of KISW and guiding its social media presence.

The Eastern Washington native said, "During my time at KISW I poured my heart and soul into what I did. I loved it, cried for it, fought for it... and lived for it. But now, guys, it's time for me to seek out new adventures. KISW is in magnificent hands, and I'm excited to see what happens next."

Entercom Seattle VP/Programming Dave Richards, who has worked with Jolene since she started at KISW, added, "Jo came to us over 11 years ago from Des Moines on the recommendation of childhood friend Ryan Castle. Starting at night, then to Assistant Music Director, then adding host of Loud & Local, then as Music Director and last year adding KISW Social Media Captain to her duties... No words can explain the dedication Jolene has shown The Rock, and Entercom Seattle. Like a family member leaving the nest, she will be missed by one and all," reflects Richards.
