KAZR/Des Moines PD Ryan Patrick Exits in Restructuring Move

Ryan Patrick

Ryan Patrick exits Saga Communications' Active Rock KAZR-FM (Lazer 103.3)/Des Moines, IA as Program Director and midday host after 17 years in a restructuring move. He also served as also the Marketing Manager of the Des Moines Radio Group (since 2010) and Program Director of CHR KIOA-FM-HD2.

In a post on Facebook, Patrick said, "After 17 years, I am no longer with the Des Moines Radio Group due to 'restructuring.' It's weird to see a 17-year career tied into three sentences. I didn't get a chance to say goodbye to my co-workers, some who were there at the very beginning who saw me walk in the building in 2003. You are a talented group who I hope will continue to thrive."
