iHM Names Owens KXJM and KUBE Program Director


iHeartMedia appoints Geoff "G-Off" Owens as Program Director for Hip Hop outlets KXJM-FM (JAM'N 107.5)/Portland, OR and KUBE-FM/Seattle, effective immediately. Owens will also serve as afternoon host for both stations, a position he's held at JAM'N 107.5 since 2012. Owens, a well-known local media personality, has worked at JAM'N 107.5 since 2004, when he joined the station as an intern. He was promoted to nights in 2010 and moved to host afternoons in 2012. In 2016, Owens was named Assistant Program Director and Music Director for JAM'N 107.5.

"Nobody knows the JAM'N 107.5 brand, core audience and Portland community better than Geoff," said iHeartMedia's Pacific Northwest Regional Senior VP/Programming Tim Herbster. "It's always special when you can watch a hard-working employee's career grow from intern to Program Director. Geoff's on-air skills and programming vision will also be extremely beneficial as we continue to grow KUBE 104.9 in Seattle/Tacoma."

"I'm looking forward to further serving our Portland community and listeners while working with the legendary KUBE 104.9 and extending my love affair with the Northwest into the Seattle/Tacoma market," added Owens. "Thank you to the iHeartMedia Pacific Northwest team for their continued trust in me and the opportunities to grow my career. It's going to be an exciting 2017."
