UnMacLeashed:
CBS Radio/Minneapolis OM Lauren MacLeash will assume programming duties for Country KMNB following PD Kenny Jay's departure for the company's KMPS/Seattle, where he assumes the same role. As reported earlier via Breaking News, he succeeds VP/Programming Carey Curelop, who assumed the duties following Ed Hill's departure in April (CAT 4/15) and remains with the cluster.
