Triple A KCMP (89.3 The Current)/Minneapolis announces that Lindsay Kimball has been named PD, returning to the programming team after working in the Minnesota Public Radio membership team since 2018, most recently as Director of Membership. She succeeds Jim McGuinn, who exited earlier this year.
“I’m beyond excited to work with the amazing team at The Current again,” Kimball says. “Programming radio is my passion, and I look forward to continuing to strengthen this amazing service and music community partner.”
“It’s a joy to have Lindsay rejoin our team as program director,” says David Safar, Managing Director of The Current. “I have witnessed her talent as a leader and advocate for our audience through developing new on-air talent, fundraising, and serving our community.”
Kimball will work closely with Jesse Wiza, who was promoted to from Interim to Assistant Program Director in April.
Wiza joined The Current in 2017 and has served as Music Assistant, Assistant Producer, and Digital Producer before tackling the APD role. ”The Current means a lot to me and I’m grateful to continue to work alongside such a talented crew,” she says.
Additionally, The Current has hired Rachel Frances as Associate Producer for The Morning Show. Frances brings radio experience including managing her college radio station and working as a producer at KBEA and KIIK in the Quad Cities, and MyTalk and ESPN 1500 in the Twin Cities.
“We are thrilled to have all of these talented individuals on board,” says Safar. “They each bring unique value to our brand that will help us continue to serve audiences across our region while furthering our mission.”
