Hall Communications promotes Kevin Palana to Program Director of WCTK-FM (Cat Country 98.1)/Providence, effective August 1. He replaces current WCTK PD and Hall VP/Programming Bob Walker who is moving to Hall's Lakeland-Winter Haven cluster at the end of the summer. Palana is also WCTK's Production Director and afternoon drive host. Additionally, he'll handle programming duties for Classic Hits WNBH (BIG 101.3)/New Bedford.

"Kevin's programming credentials are top notch with previous successes in New London at WQGN and New Bedford at WFHN," said Hall VP/Programming Bob Walker. He is a true strategist and extremely detail oriented. Our Hall culture is about promoting from within, which makes this so much more special."

"Kevin has been a vital part of Cat County's success this past decade," added WCTK VP/General Manager Tom Wall. "He knows this market inside and out which makes him an excellent choice to be WCTK's next PD."

"I want to thank Tom, Bob and everyone at Hall for this opportunity," said Palana. "I grew up in this market and there is no place I'd rather live. I look forward to working directly with Courtney Kelley and Brian Mulhern of Cat Country mornings and the entire staff in Providence and New Bedford."
