After just five months after being promoted to Assistant Program Director at Bonneville Sports “104.3 The Fan” KKFN-FM Longmont/Denver, Parker Hills has departed to join Audacy’s “Sports Radio 610” KILT Houston.
Hillis had been with KKFN since April 2019 first as Executive Producer. He previously spent five years in Dallas at “105.3 The Fan” KRLD-FM as a producer, weekend host, and pre and post-game host for Texas Rangers baseball.
He succeeds Armen Williams, who departed the station in February for a position outside of broadcasting.
Audacy has named Parker Hillis Brand Manager of Sports Radio 610 (KILT-AM) in Houston, effective June 6. In this role, Hillis will oversee content strategy, talent, operations and branding for the station.
“Parker is a rising star,” said Sarah Frazier, Senior Vice President and Market Manager, Audacy Houston. “He has impressed us since day one with his innovative ideas, focus on talent coaching and work ethic. We’re thrilled to have him join our Audacy team.”
“I’m excited to join the Sports Radio 610 team in Houston,” said Hillis. “The opportunity to direct and grow an already incredible Audacy brand is truly an honor.”
Hillis joins Sports Radio 610 after previously serving as assistant program director of Bonneville’s 104.3 The Fan in Denver, a role he held since January 2022. He joined Bonneville in April 2019 as executive producer. This move marks Hillis’ second stint with Audacy; he served in a variety of producer roles for Audacy Dallas’ 105.3 The Fan (KRLD-FM) from 2014 to 2019, including the station’s flagship coverage of the Dallas Cowboys and Texas Rangers.
