Tidwell Leaves KAJA:
iHeartMedia/San Antonio SVP/Programming and Country KAJA PD Lance Tidwell has exited after five months and is looking for his next opportunity (Breaking News 8/4). In August he succeeded Don Gosselin, who himself was on the job just a few months (CAT 5/21). "People reaching out has been overwhelming and I anticipate I will get back to work quickly," Tidwell tells Country Aircheck. "Most things in life are the spirit in which you meet them, so I am choosing that this is going to lead to something even better!" His previous stops include KKWF/Seattle, WGKX/Memphis, KQFC/Boise and WCOS/Columbia, SC. Tidwell served iHeartMedia/Clear Channel for 12 years over non-consecutive periods. Reach him here. Plans for the position are pending.
