Kingston, Lindy Exit Sirius XM
A couple of the higher profile programmers who are exiting SIRIUS XM include XM VP/Artist & Label Relations and Sr. PD/Young Rock STEVE KINGSTON, and SIRIUS Country PD SCOTT LINDY will exit on FRIDAY (09/26). You can reach out to him until then at (615) 255-7077 or slindy@siriusradio.com.
KINGSTON told ALL ACCESS, "I've thoroughly enjoyed my 3 years at XM, working with some of the best brains in media, in an environment that stimulates creativity and new ideas. I want to take a sabbatical, spend time with my wife and 3 young children, and consider all options. The closest I'll get to radio for the immediate future is driving my wife PATTY STEELE to work in the morning at WPLJ with SCOTT & TODD." Reach STEVE at kingstonyc@aol.com.
