iHeartMedia Denver has named Jeana Gondek the co-host of Colorado’s Morning News with Marty Lenz on KOA.
“I am beyond excited to return to iHeartMedia, the company that truly helped me first begin my broadcasting career with West Michigan’s Morning News at WOOD Radio,” said Gondek. “KOA is a legendary station I have always dreamed of being a part of in a city that I am thrilled to finally call home. With big shoes to fill, I’m honored to work alongside Marty and bring a new voice and new perspective to Colorado’s Morning News.”
Gondek will step into the role previously held by April Zesbaugh, who announced her retirement in March after joining KOA in 1996.
In addition to her work at WOOD in Grand Rapids, she most recently served as the assistant news director and morning news anchor at WOKV, a news/talk station in Jacksonville.
“We are thrilled to have Jeana joining Colorado’s Morning News and KOA. Her personality, experience and passion for news will be a refreshing addition,” KOA Program Director Dave Tepper said. “Jeana, Marty Lenz, and the KOA news team will keep Denver and all of Colorado informed and entertained throughout the morning.”
