KMNT's Trotter To Depart:
Bicoastal/Centralia, WA OM/Sports Dir. & Country KMNT afternoon personality Ryan Trotter is leaving the market for an unnamed opportunity after 21 years. Trotter is overseeing the search for his successor and says, “[The job is perfect] if you’re looking to settle into a great community and work at radio stations that take pride in sounding big while still living in a rural community.” Sports play-by-play duties may also be added for the right candidate.
