Haskell To KYGO: Former KRST/Albuquerque OM/PD Eddie Haskell (CAT 1/24) has been named PD for Lincoln Financial's KYGO/Denver, filling a position vacant since John Thomas' November exit (CAT 11/6). VP/GM Bob Call says, "Eddie’s impressive background programming both heritage Country stations and format challengers taking on heritage brands makes him battle-tested. From helping to sign-on Young Country WYCD/Detroit years ago to defending and building the success of a great heritage brand like KRST, Eddie is a proven programmer who will help guide KYGO going forward."
Haskell's prior programming stops also include KKAT/Salt Lake City, KDJM/Denver and WXLK/Roanoke. "KYGO is a legendary radio station and Lincoln Financial Media is one of the best companies in the industry," he says. "I can't wait to be back in the Mile High City and put KYGO on a nice upward trajectory." He begins Feb. 11. Congratulate him here.
