New GM/VP at KSPN ... changes ahead?
UPDATED: Tuesday, 4 p.m.
Chris Berry, the president and general manager at DC-based WMAL-AM, a station that focused on news and talk, was announced this morning at a staff meeting as the new VP and GM of all-sports KSPN-AM (710). He joins the ESPN Radio affiliate as a replacement for the retired Bob Koontz.
Berry was hired at WMAL in 2002, coming over as the vice president of ABC News Radio to help the station get back on track. He was also a director of news and programming at WBBM-AM in Chicago. He also had 14 years at CBS Radio, spending part of the time in Los Angeles.
Now, what happens? Does the Steve Mason-John Ireland team move back to its afternoon-drive slot (where they were unseeded last year by the aborted attempt to bring in Dave Dameshek)? Who would replace them in the 1-4 p.m. slot? Whatever happened to Fred Roggin, aside from those things he phones in now and then about his semi-rants?
