Rickman

Veteran programmer BRIAN RICKMAN is joining LEIGHTON BROADCASTING's ST. CLOUD, MN cluster as OM for the five stations and PD at Country KZPK (WILD COUNTRY 99). RICKMAN has been running his own consulting firm, THE RICKMAN CONSULTANCY/STATIC MULTIMEDIA NETWORKS, which he will continue for present clients while not adding new clients. He is a former OM at TOWNSQUARE MEDIA/TYLER, TX; VP/Programming at URBAN RADIO BROADCASTING; Regional Dir. of Programming for NEXTMEDIA; and PD at THE CROMWELL GROUP, GREATER MEDIA, and CUMULUS.

At KZPK, his arrival will relieve current PD KAT in order for her to focus on her morning co-hosting role on the "KCLD MORNING PLAYHOUSE WITH JJ HOLIDAY."

In addition to KZPK, RICKMAN will oversee Top 40 KCLD-F, AC KCML (99.9 LITE FM), NewsTalk KNSI-A-K257GK, and Classic Rock KZPK-HD3-K277BS (Z-ROCK 103.3)/ST. CLOUD.

"I'm thrilled to join LEIGHTON BROADCASTING and wish to thank BOB LEIGHTON and MARK ST. JOHN for this wonderful opportunity," said RICKMAN. "I'm excited to get back to the day to day operations of a great set of locally focused stations. Now, I just need to find a sub-zero winter coat."

BRIAN will be handling OM duties remotely during DECEMBER and arriving in-house on JANUARY 2nd. Reach him at brickman@leightonbroadcasting.com.
