95.7 The Game in San Francisco has parted ways with program director Don Kollins. The official decision was made on Thursday.
Kollins joined the radio station in June 2015. Prior to moving to Northern California, he worked in Toronto for Rogers Media overseeing programming operations for Sportsnet 590 The Fan.
A nationwide search for the station’s next PD is expected to follow. In the interim, OM and KOIT PD Brian Figula will oversee the station’s day to day operations.
Given The Game’s location, on-air talent, play by play assets, and corporate support, interest in the opening should be high. The company could choose to explore internal options, including CBS programmers once Entercom’s merger with CBS is finalized. Which direction they’ll choose to go though is still to be determined.
Meanwhile for Kollins, he’s looking for his next opportunity. Interested parties can reach him by clicking here.
