Todd Violette Named OM for Connoisseur Palm Springs

Connoisseur Media

Connoisseur Media appoints Todd Violette as Operations Manager for its Palm Springs cluster, succeeding Dax Davis, who was recently promoted to Director of Sales for Connoisseur Media in San Antonio. In his new role, Violette will oversee the 8-station cluster there and will directly program KDES (98.5 The Bull).

He becomes the fourth OM hired since Connoisseur acquired the Alpha Media stations, joining Ross MacLeod in Portland, J Love in San Jose, and Gordon Mays in suburban Chicago.

"I can't wait to get started," said Violette. "I want to thank Connoisseur Media and specifically Keith Dakin, Tricia Bastida, and Dax Davis for putting their trust and confidence in me. These are great brands with a remarkable staff - and who wouldn't want to live in paradise?"

"We are excited to welcome Todd to Palm Springs," added Tricia Bastida. "With his Southern California roots and exceptional track record, he will be a great addition to our programming team, which continues to dominate the market."
