There’s a new News Director at KKOB in Albuquerque, as Zoltan Csanyi-Salcedo has joined the Cumulus Media news/talk station.
Csanyi-Salcedo joins KKOB after spending decades working in local television. Most recently, he worked as News Director of KRGV-TV (ABC5) in the Rio Grande Valley. Previous stops in his career include Albuquerque, El Paso, and Dallas, among others.
In his new role, Zoltan Csanyi-Salcedo will oversee the 96.3 FM/770 AM KKOB newsroom, the news content strategy, and talent development of those working for and with the brand.
“KKOB has always been a trusted voice for New Mexico, and my mission is to strengthen that trust every day,” said Csanyi-Salcedo. “This newsroom will focus on local truth first — fast, fair, and useful information that helps our audience make sense of what’s happening in their communities.”
“Zoltan is exactly the kind of newsroom leader Albuquerque needs right now — grounded, relentless, and passionate about storytelling that matters,” said Cumulus Albuquerque Operations Manager and Program Director Aaron ‘Buck’ Burnett. “He’s built winning, trusted newsrooms in every market he’s touched, and we’re thrilled to have him guiding KKOB’s next chapter.”
