YAKIMA, Wash. -- GapWest Broadcasting has hired Cheryl Salamone as general manager to replace David Roederer.
It's a return of sorts for Salamone, who was general manager of the same six station "pod" from 2000 to 2004 when it was owned by Clear Channel Communications. Since then, she has worked for broadcasting companies in Greensboro, N.C., the Tri-Cities and Billings, Mont.
Salamone returned to Yakima in late April after Roederer left the station. He "resigned to pursue other opportunities," she said.
Salamone said she hopes to do more than simply continue operating the stations as they have been.
"We will go back to being more involved in the community and offering a better product for our listeners," she said.
GapWest owns six local stations: rock station 94.5 KATS-FM, country station The Bull 92.9 KDBL-FM, contemporary hit music station 107.3 KFFM-FM, newstalk station 980 KIT-AM, '80s and '90s station My 99.3 KQMY-FM, and classic country station 1460 KUTI-AM.
