BruteHawke Industries has announced the addition of Andy Denemark to manage affiliate relations for the weekly syndicated “HardDrive Radio” and nightly “HardDrive XL” hosted by Lou Brutus.
The show will continue to be distributed by Gemini XIII’s United Stations where Denemark served as Executive Vice President of Programming from 1994 until 2024.
BruteHawke Industries was founded by Brutus and programmer Randy Hawke last May to purchase the show. Brutus has hosted the show since its launch in 1996 and Hawke, the longtime PD of WJJO Madison and now Market Manger for Mid-West Family Broadcasting Madison, has programmed the show over twenty years. The team also includes Producer/Engineer Matt Ianni.
Denemark, who also recently joined Pure Jingles as Branding Consultant, said, ““HardDrive XL and the original weekend edition of HardDrive are legendary leaders in rock radio. I had the pleasure of being involved with these shows for years, and to now continue helping the production team maximize their exposure going forward is an extremely exciting role to take on.”
Brutus said, “We have all known and worked with Andy Denmark for decades. There is no one who knows the HardDrive Radio properties better than Andy and we are stoked to have him onboard to spearhead our affiliation efforts.”
Hawke added, “It’s like we’re putting the dream team back together with Matt continuing on and Andy joining us. No one is better plugged into the broadcast world than Andy, making him the perfect person to bring the shows to an even wider audience.”
