Audacy is seeking a new Vice President of Programming for Alternative 106.7 KROQ Pasadena/Los Angeles.
SVP of Alternative Programming Mike Kaplan will step down from managing the day-to-day operations at KROQ, while remaining with the company to focus on “Alt 92.3” WNYL New York. Kaplan joined the company in May 2018 to program WNYL and added oversight of KROQ in February 2020 following the departure of longtime programmer Kevin Weatherly. Prior to joining the company, Kaplan programmed iHeartMedia’s “Alt 98.7” KYSR Los Angeles from 2013-2017
In a statement to Variety, an Audacy spokesman wrote, “Mike Kaplan has decided to step down as KROQ Brand Manager. Mike has come to the conclusion, personally and professionally, that this is best for him. He also believes KROQ deserves a Brand Manager solely dedicated to the brand and one that lives in Los Angeles 24/7. Mike will continue on as Brand Manager at New York’s Alt 92.3 and as Audacy’s Alternative Format VP. Our search for a new VP of Programming for KROQ begins today.”
