Amanda McGraw
AMANDA “MCGRAW” BURD has been named PD of iHEARTMEDIA Country KHGE (102.7 THE WOLF)/FRESNO and Country KOSO (92.9 THE BIG DOG)/MODESTO, effective immediately. She succeeds former KHGE Brand Mgr. NICK CASH, who departed in SEPTEMBER (NET NEWS 9/11), and reports to SVPP/CENTRAL CALIFORNIA and NEVADA TONY MATTEO.
MCGRAW most recently was APD and midday host for sister station KBEB/SACRAMENTO, which flipped from Country to AC as “92.5 THE BREEZE” last year (NET NEWS 11/8/18), moving the Country format (now “107.1 THE BULL”) to KYRV-HD2 K296GB. MCGRAW has overseen programming for THE BULL since its move.
She joined KBEB in JANUARY 2018 (NET NEWS 1/23/18) from BICOASTAL MEDIA Top 40 KDUK/EUGENE, OR, where she served as Dir./Promotions and morning co-host.
“We’re very fortunate to have AMANDA join our team,” said iHEART/FRESNO Market Pres. STEVE DARNELL. “She’s a motivated and skilled programmer and will help elevate our iHEARTCOUNTRY brands.”
“I'm thrilled to join our fantastic team in FRESNO,” said MCGRAW. “It's been my goal to program great stations since the beginning of my radio career, so the opportunity to take on two iHEARTCOUNTRY stations for my first role as Program Director is a dream come true. There is something so special about the artists, listeners and entire Country music community. I’m proud to be a part of it and I'm ready to fill the CENTRAL VALLEY with the best New Country.”
Congratulate her here.
