103.7 KSON has promoted a familiar and influential voice behind the scenes to a more prominent leadership role, elevating Jessica Chenoweth to Music Director as the San Diego country station continues refining its sound and strategy.
Beginning February 2, Chenoweth will oversee the direction and management of the station’s music catalog while maintaining her duties as Executive Producer of John and Tammy: San Diego’s Morning Show.
“Jessica’s elevation to this role is a testament to her strategic brilliance,” Brand Manager Scotty Roddy said. “We’re excited to leverage her thorough mindset and innate talent for discovering new country music. Under her leadership, we will continue to build a community that captivates and connects with our listeners.”
Chenoweth’s promotion adds another chapter to a broadcast radio career spanning more than two decades. Her experience includes major-market pop and heritage country formats. She began her career at KIIS-FM in Los Angeles. There, she worked on the production team for On Air with Ryan Seacrest.
That early exposure to high-level programming helped shape her approach to content, talent collaboration, and audience engagement.
Since 2016, Chenoweth has served as executive producer of John and Tammy: San Diego’s Morning Show. The program airs weekdays from 5 a.m. to 10 a.m. PT on KSON. In that role, she has been closely involved in show planning and production execution. She has also contributed to long-term brand growth. That experience makes the transition to music leadership a natural extension of her responsibilities.
Reflecting on the promotion, Chenoweth pointed to her early passion for music programming as a driving force behind her career trajectory.
“When I started in radio over 20 years ago, I would organize my music director’s CD stash just to be a part of the music selection any way I could,” she said. “Being named the Music Director at the legendary KSON is a dream come true, and I couldn’t have anyone better teaching me the ropes than Scotty.”
