Alpha Media has announced the appointment of Dylan Salisbury as the new Content Director for CHR “Live 95.5” KBFF Portland.
Salisbury joins the company from Cumulus Media’s “98.9 Magic-FM” KKMG Colorado Springs which he has programmed since November 2019. Salisbury has also served as APD/MD/afternoon host at WZPL Indianapolis, Music Director/afternoon host at KKDM Des Moines, afternoon host at KFRX Lincoln NE, and producer and late night host at KDWB Minneapolis.
He fills the opening created by last month’s departure of Amanda ‘Ice’ Habrowski to join iHeartMedia Classic Rock “93.1 The Mountain” KYMT Las Vegas.
Alpha Media (the “Company”), a leading mid-market broadcaster operating radio stations across 44 markets in the United States, announced the appointment of Dylan Salisbury as Live 95.5 Content Director, effective June 27, 2022.
Salisbury will oversee Programming for KBFF/Live 95.5 and will report to Portland Operations Manager Gene Sandbloom, Market Manager Lisa Decker and EVP of Content Phil Becker.
Sandbloom shares, “All of us at Alpha Media Portland are excited for the energy that Dylan is bringing to Live 95.5. His eagerness to innovate and try the untried is a perfect fit for the #1 Top 40 station in the market.”
Salisbury commented, “I’m extremely honored to program KBFF. Being part of such a progressive group is refreshing and exciting. I want to thank Lisa Decker, Gene Sandbloom, Phil Becker, and Alpha Media for such an incredible opportunity. I can’t wait to get to the Pacific Northwest.”
Salisbury comes to KBFF directly from his two-year stint as Program Director and Afternoon Host at 98.8 Magic FM (KKMG) in Colorado Springs, CO.
