Cumulus Media has promoted Assistant Program Director Mike Hohler to Program Director of KNBR, KGO and KTCT. They have also named John Kerley as the new Assistant Program Director.
Hohler has been with KNBR since 2002. Kerley joined KNBR as morning show producer in February.
Cumulus San Francisco/Los Angeles RVP/Market Manager Larry Blumhagen commented in a release, “I am excited to see Mike Hohler take the reins as Program Director of these dynamic, listener-driven stations. Mike has been a dedicated member of this terrific team for over two decades and knows every working part of our programming operations. He has meaningful relationships with our broadcast partners, which he will continue to build upon and grow in his new leadership role.”
He continued, “John Kerley brings a strategic approach to the Assistant Program Director role for our Sports stations. We are fortunate to have such a talented and collaborative sports programming team and are in very capable hands with Mike and John at the helm. Our all-star lineup – including all the great talent in our Bull Pen – makes for a winning team and positions these stations for continued success!”
In late May of this year, Adam Copeland stepped down from his duties as Program Director of KNBR, KGO and KTCT. He was named to the position in November 2023. Copeland has continued hosting his afternoon drive show, Tolbert and Copes, alongside Tom Tolbert.
A column by Barrett Media President Jason Barrett drew attention to Copeland’s questionable behavior on social media. The decision to step down came four days after the column was published on the BSM website.
