Stanton moves from Canada to the US

Australian programmer Ronnie Stanton will join Alpha Media in the United States as VP/Programming.

Ronnie will oversee the Rock, Classic Rock, Alternative, Oldies and Classic Hits formats, and assume the PD role of Alpha Media’s two stations in San Jose – Hot AC formatted KBAY, and AC formatted KEZR.

Ronnie moves to the US after having been VP/Programming for Corus Entertainment in Canada, and previously having worked in Australia with Nova 100 Melbourne, Hot 91 Sunshine Coast and K-Rock Geelong.

Alpha President Bob Proffitt said,

“As a continuation of our rapid growth, we have been searching for the ideal candidate to help Scott Mahalick, Phil Becker and our programming teams execute strategies for on-air, online and mobile audience growth. Ronnie is a dynamic addition.”

Ronnie added:

“What a thrill to join America’s fastest growing radio company! Alpha Media is a real radio company, where their people and their markets matter. Live and local is the way forward as a medium and Alpha is trailblazing that. It is very exciting and humbling to play a part in it all”
