"We are thrilled to have The AntMan leading our heritage Country brands, KASE and KVET," said iHeartMedia Austin-San Antonio President Matt Martin. "He is a gifted programmer and an amazing talent. We could not be more excited to have him join the Austin team."

"It's been more than an honor to work with the talented team at 102.5 KNIX at iHeartMedia Phoenix," added Allen. "I'm looking forward to taking everything I've learned there with me to Austin to lead these storied Country brands, KASE 101 and 98.1 KVET. It's a return home for my family and I can't wait to get started."
