Federated Media has promoted veteran programmer Jesse Garcia to Program Director of Country WQHK (K105) in Fort Wayne, IN, effective immediately. He will continue serving as Program Director of sister Country WBYT (B100) in South Bend. Garcia has spent more than 16 years programming B100, where he also hosts weekday afternoons.

A graduate of Southern Illinois University with a degree in Radio and Television Broadcasting, Garcia has worked at stations in Illinois, Wisconsin, Kansas, Massachusetts, and Colorado before settling in northern Indiana.

Federated Media Director of Operations Kyle Guderian said Garcia's success in South Bend made him a natural choice for the Fort Wayne position. "Jesse has built an incredibly strong country brand in our South Bend market, and he's earned this opportunity in Fort Wayne," Guderian said. "Extending his leadership to K105 was a natural fit. He knows the format, he knows our company, and he knows how to connect with listeners."

Garcia said he is eager to begin working with the K105 staff and listeners. "I'm excited to join the K105 team and the Federated Media family in Fort Wayne," Garcia said. "I'm looking forward to getting connected with the community and having some fun doing it."
