You Can Teach An Old Frog New Tricks:
The Big Time With Whitney Allen Producer & Coord./Music Dana Swearingen will depart the company March 29 and return to Entercom KFRG/Riverside, CA as Dir./Promotions. She succeeds Leslie Bischoff, who left the cluster for an opportunity outside of radio. It is a return to KFRG for Swearingen, who served as Coord./Promotion before joining The Big Time in 2016 (CAT 8/16/16). "The past three years in syndication at The Big Time With Whitney Allen have allowed me to grow so much, professionally and personally," says Swearingen. Reach her here now, and here beginning March 29. At The Big Time, the search is on for a successor; contact Dir./Creative & Operations Steve Ringgold and Exec. Producer Justin Michael here and here, respectively.
