iHeartMedia has announced the promotion of Cara Hahn to Program Director of CHR “Kiss 107.1” WKFS Milford/Cincinnati OH.
Cahn, who assumed the role several months ago, continues to be based in New York and in her other roles as APD/MD of CHR “Z100” WHTZ and Contemporary Hit Radio Brand Coordinator for iHeartMedia’s National Brand Team. Hahn began her career at Seton Hall University’s Rock 89.5 WSOU South Orange NJ where she rose to Program Director while in school. She joined iHeartMedia New York upon graduation in 2014 as a programming coordinator and Community Affairs Coordinator before rising in 2017 to APD of WHTZ and AC “106.7 Lite-FM” WLTW.
Former WKFS Program Director Josh Martinez dropped those duties when he relocated to WHTZ as night host in May 2021.
