Entercom News/Talk 830 WCCO Minneapolis has parted ways with Program Director John Hanson.
Hanson has programmed the station since December 2018. The Minnesota native previously spent five years programming Entercom’s “610 Sports” KCSP and “1660 The Score” KWOD Kansas City. Prior to that he spent five years in Minneapolis as host of “Twin Cities Live” on KSTP-TV after winning a public casting call. He also programmed 920 KBAD Las Vegas before his foray into television.
In a memo to staff yesterday acquired by the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, SVP/Market Manager Shannon Knoepke wrote, “Reaching out this afternoon to notify the staff that John Hanson is no longer with the Company, effective today. More to come as we move forward and work to fill this position.”
