John Richards

Former INGSTAD RADIO/YAKIMA, WA OM and Country KXDD PD/morning show co-host JOHN RICHARDS is set to join MIDWEST COMMUNICATIONS Country WDEZ/WAUSAU, WI as Brand Mgr./Middays, effective TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 5th. He succeeds cluster OM DEREK MORAN, who doubled as WDEZ Brand Mgr., following MORAN's departure when the OM role was eliminated. RICHARDS left YAKIMA last MONTH (NET NEWS 7/5) and has been dropping cryptic hints on his FACEBOOK page as to his next stop. Now, it's officially official.

"JOHN’s passion for radio and the current Country format is off the charts," said WAUSAU Market Manager BRETT LUCHT. "We look forward to JOHN bringing his leadership skills and programming experience to our WAUSAU operation." A SAN DIEGO native, RICHARDS started his radio career in FLINT, MI. “I've always known MIDWEST COMMUNICATONS was the best place in radio to work," said RICHARDS. "I'm looking forward to taking WDEZ to new heights and being the dominant radio station in CENTRAL WISCONSIN.” Send congrats here.
