Rick Howard to KDRV, No ND at KEZI Still

Submitted by LynnS on Wed, 07/11/2007 - 9:35am.

From the comments on an older thread:

Rick Howard has been hired as KDRV's next news director in Medford. He replaces Mark Hatfield, who accepted the General Manager position at KDRV's sister station in Eugene, KEZI.

Still no word yet on who will take over as KEZI's News Director. The station hoped to have a new ND hired by July 4th.

Thanks, Anonymous Source!

I wonder if he was even considered for KEZI.

Maybe once he is done down in Medford, he can come up and save KOIN? Afterall that is where all of KOIN's senior reporters are from, seems like a natural fit.

There can only be one 'Rick' at KEZI.

Rick Howard is a great guy. Welcome home my man. He will do a great job and will someday be offered another job in PDX. Hopefully he will be smart enough to say no.

He did a super job in Richmond, VA but missed the NW. Glad he is back in Oregon.
