Randy Reeves, former Production Director at Power 99 in

however, has left the station to do it. Randy is also the subject of next
month's interview. As of this writing, it is unsure whether the position at
the station will be filled by someone on staff or if the search will begin
for someone outside. Join us in extending best wishes to Randy, too!
