Jonathan Wilde Exits KWOF (92.5 The Wolf)

[Colorado Media Newsroom]

From All Access:



WILKS Country KWOF (THE WOLF)/DENVER PD/morning personality JONATHAN WILDE has exited the station after four years.

In a note to his staff TODAY (2/28) WILDE said, “I want to thank JEFF WILKS and JEFF SANDERS for believing in me and giving me the opportunity to take THE WOLF and completely turn it around and make it a viable second Country outlet in this market. We've done a lot in four years, including the hurdle of neutralizing the market from a concert standpoint and gain reporting status with the labels."

Prior to joining THE WOLF, WILDE handled afternoons at Classic Hits clustermate KXKL. He also had a long morning stint with LINCOLN FINANCIAL crosstown Country KYGO before joining the WILKS cluster in 2007.

Moving forward, KXKL afternoon host BO REYNOLDS will assume WILDE’s morning show, with MD/midday personality BROOKE DIAZ overseeing programming, aided by WILKS VP/Country MIKE KENNEDY.

Good luck to Jonathan. I wonder what his next move is. I knew him when he was at CHR KKMG 98.9 FM in Colorado Springs doing mornings with Aussie Erin Brady and Rich the Bald Intern in the early 90s. I loaned him a Devo LP that he used during a morning show bit back then that I never got back. LOL
