Alfred Williams is leaving Bonneville’s Sports Radio 104.3 The Fan in Denver. Williams accepted a job with iHeart’s KOA-AM/FM, which is also in Denver (he’ll have to sit out a six month non-compete). After letting the station know his ten year run with the station was over here what the former Denver Bronco said about his boss.
Bob Call is the General Manager of the station in Denver for Bonneville. Here’s what Williams told Channel 9 News about Call. “I owe my whole career to Bob Call and he was the most important thing in this entire process. He’s the reason I stayed through all the other negotiations and by the end of these contract negotiations, I didn’t have confidence that Bob would be the general manager anymore because he would retire. I’ve had runs from major companies in the past, but to stay with Bob and learn how to do radio the right way, and the way you treat people doing it, those were lessons learned from a great man. I’m getting emotional thinking of it because he’s meant that much to me.”
Tim Hager is iHeart’s Region President. Here’s what he told Channel 9 News. “I’m unbelievably excited about the possibility of having Big Al on our team as a broadcaster, a talent and a man. Right now, I just respect Bob (Call) and Bonneville and everything they have going on as they transition from that great broadcaster and talent and man. Much more to come, but really exciting times.”
