Swanson Out Already. Hammer Takes Over.

That was quick Jack. Cumulus Media announced that the recently hired Jack Swanson would rather be on the beach than programming KGO and KSFO in San Francisco. Swanson was back for a month before he decided to leave again. He programmed KGO and KSFO from 1994 to 2011.

Lee Hammer served KGO and KSFO as Interim Program Director in 2015, when he was also the Program Director at KNBR 680 and KNBR 1050 (KTCT), positions he held for 12 years and over 19 years, respectively. Hammer was promoted last year to Operations Manager for the Cumulus cluster in San Francisco and Vice President of Play-by-Play Programming for KNBR.

Harvill added, “Jack Swanson has decided he’s happiest spending his days playing on the beach rather than sitting behind a desk. We’re pleased he’ll continue to share his vision about the future of KGO and KSFO as he continues to serve the stations as a programming consultant.”

Hammer said, “I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to work with the talented professionals at KGO and KSFO. I want to thank Doug Harvill for his confidence in me, and for the opportunity to consult with Jack Swanson, who is without a doubt one of the top talk radio programmers in the country.”

Swanson said, “I realize my decision to return to the beach is sudden. I quickly fell in love all over again with these wonderful stations and their talented people, but ultimately my change of heart comes from my desire to fully enjoy a future of unlimited fun, travel, and adventure. And making this move complete, through the unbelievable graciousness of Doug Harvill, Lee Hammer, and the entire Cumulus Corporate team, I’ll still have the opportunity to contribute my ideas for the future of these amazing radio stations.”
