Bradley Ryan, APD/afternoon dude at RR Broadcasting Hot AC KPSI (Mix 100.5)/Palm Springs, CA, makes the whiplash-inducing daypart move to mornings, filling the chasm made when Forrest left last month. PD Connie Breeze is has now launched the S.S. Searching for An Afternoon Jock/Production Whiz -- perhaps you'd like to make yourself a port of call by sending her stuff at cbreeze@mix1005.fm.
Jon Thomas, who programs Great Plains Media hot AC KLZR (Lazer 105.9) and active rocker KMXN (X92.9) in lovely Topeka, Kan., is leaving the stations and our industry to pursue a career in aviation technology. His Sept. 5 departure creates a nice opening for [your name here], so hit up Great Plains COO Ron Covert at rcovert@gpmnow.com.
