San Diego Radio: Vasquez New PD At KFMB-FM

Mike Vasquez
Veteran radio programmer and personality Mike Vasquez has been named Program Director at Rock KFMB 100.7 FM, branded as KFM-BFM.

In addition to his duties as Program Director, Mike V. will continue hosting PM Drive weekdays.

His radio career began in Fresno at KEZL back in the mid-80s. He was named Program Director in 1993 and, after taking that station to #1 in the ratings, was offered the PD job at KIFM/San Diego in 1998. During his 17-year tenure at KIFM, he led the station to #1 in the ratings dozens of times. KIFM also won the coveted “Marconi Award” in 2005 for Station of the Year under his leadership.

Vasquez stated, "I’m a little bruised from pinching myself, but I am wide awake and excited to contribute to our team’s success. The foundation here is incredibly solid and we’ll continue to build upon it to effectively serve our community and clients with a quality product. Elisabeth Kimmel and Alberto Mier y Terán are implementing some impressive innovations and I’m grateful that they’re entrusting me to lead 100.7 KFM-BFM."

100.7 KFM-BFM’s “variety rock” format has already become the top ranked rock station in San Diego and includes San Diego’s #1 morning show Dave, Shelly and Chainsaw.

Rachel's Fans Upset Over Thursday's Pre-emption

Fans of Rachel Maddow have expressed their disgust at 'sexist' NBC after the anchor was replaced on the show by Brian Williams who referred to the US missiles against Syria as 'beautiful'. According to the Daily Mail , Williams, the breaking news anchor for MSNBC, appeared during Maddow's 9pm slot when news broke that the US military fired more than 50 missiles at the al-Shayrat base in retaliation for a chemical weapons attack on civilians. Furious viewers accused the network of 'sexism' and said Maddow was more than competent to cover the news without any help from Williams. The news was covered by Williams as he is the breaking news anchor for the network, meaning that during major events he takes over the airwaves at MSNBC no matter who may be hosting at that time. All the other major networks did the same last night as well.

Angie’s List Rejects O’Reilly Boycott

More than 30 advertisers have fled the airwaves of “The O’Reilly Factor,” the most popular cable television show on the most popular cable network, after a New York Times report on previously unknown sexual harassment allegations against the host spurred yet another woman to step forward. According to The Washington Post , big brand names like Eli Lilly, Mercedes-Benz and Allstate are among the companies seeking distance from O’Reilly in an unusually bold snub that could create financial woes for the conservative firebrand and his bosses. In its statements about pulling its “O’Reilly Factor” advertising, Mercedes-Benz and Hyundai both called the allegations “disturbing.” Credit Karma used the word “concerning.” And many companies said they prioritized “diversity,” “a respectful and inclusive workplace environment” and only advertising on programs consistent with their “core values.” But one company has publicly announced the opposite, reported CNN Money.
