Local Media San Diego has promoted Alternative “91X” 91.1 XETRA-FM Tijuana APD/MD/afternoon host Hilary Doneux to Brand Manager.

Doneux has been a staple of the station since 1997 after previously working at KNAC Los Angeles and KNRX Denver. She rose to APD in 2018 and moved from her longtime midday timeslot to afternoons earlier this year. She commented, “For a Southern California kid who started on 91X back in 1997, I am humbled, honored, and SO stoked to get the opportunity to steer this legendary ship! Joining the list of incredible programmers who’ve helped shape 91X for 40+ years fills me with gratitude (and butterflies). Huge thanks to Gregg, Norm, Joe, Garett, and the whole LMSD team for believing in me!”

XETRA-FM also officially announced the return of Marty Whitney to the station as morning host. Both moves fill the opening created by Garett Michaels’ move to KSER Everett WA as General Manager.

President/General Manager Gregg Wolfson said, “While we are sorry to see Garett go, we are excited that he will remain on the 91X Team as a consultant to the station. Hilary has earned the promotion to Brand Manager and will do an amazing job moving 91X forward. Likewise, we will be bringing Marty back home to host 91X mornings where he belongs. I’m excited for 91X’s position as one of the leading and most influential alternative rock stations ever.”
