Tom Clendening, who recently left his position as program director at KIRO, has been named program director at KKOL, replacing Rick Richardson. The announcement came from Joe Heslet, a former Fisher Broadcasting exec who was hired in February as marketing manager for Salem Communications (KGNW 820, KKOL 1300, KKMO 1360, KLFE 1590, and KAZJ 1680).
Rick left after a recent change in GMs at KKOL. The changes in GM and PD have forced the cancellation of the KOL Reunion scheduled for the station's 85th birthday in late May. It had been planned as a "station event".
