Altitude 950 is bolstering its programming department with the addition of Dave Tepper as the station’s new program director. He’ll officially join the Denver sports station on August 15th.
Tepper is being counted on to add his seasoned touch, creativity, and vision to Denver’s radio home of the Colorado Avalanche and Denver Nuggets. Among his responsibilities include shaping the station’s on-air, online, social, and mobile programming strategies.
Brenda Egger, Senior Vice President and General Manager of KSE Radio, said “We were fortunate to have many outstanding candidates for this position but Dave’s confidence, winning track record, play-by-play, and team relations experience truly stood out from the others. He brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to our station and I am confident he will be an incredible asset to our team.”
Tepper joins Altitude 950 following a successful stint as Operations Manager of NRG Media’s five-station cluster in Omaha, Nebraska. He has served as the Kansas City Chiefs Radio Network Studio Coordinator and National Network Producer for Westwood One’s broadcasts of the College World Series. His career has also included programming, production and on-air roles in Los Angeles, Houston, and Austin.
“I’m incredibly proud and grateful to the leadership team at Kroenke Sports & Entertainment for the opportunity to program Altitude 950,” added Tepper. “This radio journey has connected me to many talented people in a number of great places, and fortunately we have accomplished special things. Thanks to our collective work I’ve been given the chance to do the same in the passionate sports city of Denver within the beautiful state of Colorado. I can’t wait to get started.”
