Salem Media Group announces the hiring of Jeremiah Richardson as APD/MD/Imaging for 94.9 KLTY/Dallas/Fort Worth. Jeremiah comes from Stephens Media Group in Tulsa where he served as National CCM Brand Manager, Assistant Program Director, Imaging Director and Music Director for KXOJ Tulsa and sister stations around the country.
Jeremiah has been on air and in broadcast studios since he was 16 years old both in mainstream and CCM formats. Since then, he’s been dedicated to our industry and has a strong passion for Christian music, the people that create it, and the powerful message our format represents.
KLTY PD Mike Prendergast says “Jeremiah is everything I’ve been looking for in this position. He has extensive experience in CCM, APD and MD experience with KXOJ and his imaging skills are amazing. He’s also done every air shift in the book and will be a great utility player for us filling in for middays and afternoons when Tony or Bonnie are on vacation. He will be a great addition to the team here at KLTY!”
Jeremiah says “My wife and two young children are excited to explore life in DFW. I’m honored to join the KLTY team and do my part to help Mike and the team win the day, every day.”
Jeremiah will begin his next career chapter at KLTY on Monday, March 20th.
