Eddie Haskell Named PD at KYGO/Denver

RADIO ONLINE | Thursday, January 31, 2013

Lincoln Financial Media announced today that veteran radio programmer Eddie Haskell will return to the Denver market as Program Director at country station KYGO-FM effective February 11. Haskell comes from Cumulus Broadcasting in Albuquerque, where he was Operations Manager. He has programmed heritage country station KRST-FM for the last nine years and served as the station's afternoon air personality. In addition, Haskell had supervised country stations in the West region under previous owner Citadel. He has also been program director at KKAT-FM/Salt Lake City, KDJM-FM/Denver, WYCD-FM/Detroit and WXLK-FM/Roanoke.

"Eddie's impressive background programming both heritage country stations and format challengers taking on heritage brands makes him battle-tested," said Bob Call, Senior VP/General Manager of LFM/Denver. "From helping to sign-on Young Country WYCD years ago to defending and building the success of a great heritage brand like KRST, Eddie is a proven programmer who will help guide KYGO going forward."

"I could not be more excited," said Haskell. "KYGO is a legendary radio station and Lincoln Financial Media is one of the best companies in the industry. I can't wait to be back in the Mile High City and put KYGO on a nice upward trajectory."
