Bland On The Run: No official word, but former Monument VP/Promotion Drew Bland has joined Audacy KMLE/Phoenix as Local Brand Mgr./Exec. Prod. KMLE has not had an onsite programmer since last September’s departure of Tim Richards as part of a significant then-Entercom restructuring of the Country format (CAT 9/10/20). Bland left Monument in June (CAT 6/29) after more than a year (CAT 4/23/20). This marks a return to KMLE for Bland, who previously spent seven years there and rose to APD/MD before departing to program WWKA/Orlando (CAT 6/3/14). His prior stops also include KKWF/Seattle. Reach Bland here.
