Barrel Boy Steps Back From KNIX
Barrel Roll: iHeartMedia KNIX/Phoenix Tim, Brooke & Barrel Show producer and co-host "Barrel Boy" is stepping back from his daily duties at the station for a full-time, management-level position in the consumer packaged goods industry. "I will remain a part of the KNIX family as Barrel Boy," he tells Country Aircheck. "I’ll still see you at future signature events like KNIX Secret Show and Boots In The Park." Reach him here. Barrel Boy shared his story in celebration of 15 years with the station in 2021 (read here). "Potential morning show producer candidates should watch this space for a job opportunity coming soon," says cluster SVP/Programming Mark Medina. "Incoming hires need not wear a barrel to work ... but certainly can!"
