Valentine's Day: Leighton KZPK/St. Cloud, MN PD/afternoon host and sister KYCK/Grand Forks, ND MD/afternoon host Kris Valentine has added companywide Dir./Country Programming duties, overseeing programming, talent development and brand strategy. Prior to re-joining Leighton two years ago (CAT 12/11/23), Valentine was Hubbard KIKV/Alexandria, MN PD/morning host, after having held those roles during a previous stint at KZPK from 2016-18. His previous stops include KMNB/Minneapolis and KWJJ/Portland, OR. Reach him here. The move follows last week's departure of Leighton VP/Programming JD Greene for a new role at Lotus Broadcasting (CAT 11/4).
