“I am very happy to welcome Randy to the AGM cluster in Albuquerque. We actually competed with each other in California. It’s nice to now have such a pro on our team here,” said AGM/Albuquerque General Manager Larry Lemanski.
“It’s not easy finding Program Directors today – especially one who embodies the talent and skill to manage a heritage brand on one hand and the tenacity and grind needed to launch a new brand on the other. Randy has all of those skills and more and we could not be happier to have as skilled and dynamic a programmer on the AGM team,” added Regional Director of Operations & Programming Robert Lewis.
Fox stated, “I am very excited to be joining the American General Media family. It is an honor to be trusted with the success and future of KKSS and KKRG. I would like to thank Rogers Brandon, Larry Lemanski and Bob Lewis for their confidence and vision. I look forward to working with the incredible team at AGM Albuquerque.”
