Hubbard Radio is making a major programming move in Minneapolis-St. Paul. Chris Eagan is adding KS95 (KSTP-FM) to his VP Brand & Content responsibilities, effective immediately.
What We Know: Eagan now oversees three Hubbard stations in his VP Brand & Content role. He already led WTMX-FM (101.9 The Mix) and WTBC-FM (Throwback 100.3) since joining Hubbard in January 2025. Before Hubbard, Eagan spent 16 years at Cox Media Group, most recently as Senior VP of Audience and Programming. His career spans markets including Boston, Providence, and New Haven.
What They Said: Dan Seeman, Hubbard Radio’s President/Region Manager Minnesota: “Chris is one of the preeminent programming minds in the country. He was an immediate culture fit and will have a strong impact on one of the greatest radio brands in America.”
Eagan matched Seeman’s energy. “I am honored to step into the VP Brand & Content role for KS95. It’s such a special, award-winning station, I’m grateful for the chance to lead this iconic brand for Hubbard Minneapolis and keep building on its years of success.”
What Remains Unclear: The structural reporting lines across his three-station portfolio remain undefined publicly. Whether this signals a broader consolidation of Hubbard’s Midwest programming strategy is still an open question.
What It Means: This move further consolidates Hubbard’s programming leadership in a key market. Eagan’s expanded role suggests the company values unified brand vision over siloed station management. For KS95, a storied Hot AC brand, this brings fresh strategic horsepower. Ultimately, it’s a bet that strong central leadership drives better results.
