Justin Riley
iHeartMedia /eattle has announced that Justin Riley is the new Program Director for CHR KPWK Power 93.3 FM and HotAC KBKS 106.1 Kiss FM.
Riley will work closely with on-air personalities and sales to oversee on-air content, digital footprints and music programming for both brands and their local events.
Riley most recently worked as the PD for KKRZ Z100 FM and KXJM Jam'n 107.5 FM in Portland, OR. He has also previously served as the Program Director for KKOB-FM and KMGA-FM/Albuquerque and at KSII-FM/El Paso, as well as the Assistant Program Director and Music Director at KQMB-FM/Salt Lake City.
"I am beyond thrilled that iHeartMedia has asked me to take on the responsibility of leading these two exciting new brands in Seattle," said Riley. "As a northwest native, it has always been a dream of mine to program in the Emerald City. And as a lifelong Seahawks fan, I'm excited to add my talents to that of the insane 12th Man! Many thanks to Andrew Jeffries, Robert Dove, Kent Haehl and Rich Moore for this incredible opportunity."
"With our brand realignment in Seattle earlier this year, isolating the right programmer to lead Power 93.3 and 106.1 KISS-FM into this bright new future is critical -- Justin Riley was an obvious choice to move these two brands forward here in Seattle and we couldn't be more excited to welcome him to the team," added Senior VP/Programming Rich Moore. "His knowledge, experience, leadership and connections for these formats will have a big impact."
