Swedberg is moving to a new strategic advisor role with the company after 34 years with K102 and iHeartMedia Minneapolis. He will no focus on assisting iHeart Country projects.
Rich Davis is now being named Senior Vice President of Programming at the cluster, and will take over as Program Director of K102. He had previously been the Program Director of 101.3 KDWB since 2016. He also previously worked for the company in Seattle and Nashville.
“When I first got to KDWB in 1997, I never dreamed I’d one day get the chance to take over for the legendary Gregg Swedberg,” said Rich Davis. “I hope to make him proud and continue our success with these amazing teams and brands in the Twin Cities. Thanks to Kris Foley, Gene Romano and Eric Lonnquist for the opportunity!”
“I’m looking forward to having the unique opportunity to help lots of stations in iHeartCountry and assisting Rich and Chad with this transition,” said Swedberg. “I can’t wait for Nashville to embrace Rich, which I know they will. The iHeart Minneapolis team will just keep on winning.”
