He'll continue to serve as PD and air talent for CHR WKCI (KC101) and PD for 100.9 The Beat in New Haven, CT.

He began his career at WKSS and is a graduate of Westfield State University.

"Over the past ten years, Adam has done and amazing job programming KC101 while also serving as the APD and music director for Kiss 95-7 and we are excited to see him evolve to Program Director of Kiss 95-7," said iHeartMedia Hartford Region President Steve Honeycomb.

"Kiss 95-7 is legendary and one that is close to my heart as it launched my career. There is no one better than Adam to lead Kiss 95-7 into the future," added iHeartMedia Connecticut Senior Vice President of Programming Joey Brooks.

"Growing up, these were the two radio stations I spent my time with and it was a faraway dream to even work at one, never mind both as the Program Director," said Rivers. "Thank you to Joey Brooks, Steve Honeycomb, and Dylan Sprague for constantly helping me improve and grow during my time here, and for this new opportunity."
