Nik Rivers
Stephens Media Group has named Nik Rivers as Operations Manager for the 3-station cluster in Rochester, NY effective December 16th.
Rivers, former Program Director for WZNE Rochester is returning to the building as Operations Manager for the cluster, this time overseeing programming for all 3 of the Stephens Media properties.
“After eight years in Buffalo, I am beyond excited to make the move back to Rochester and rejoin the amazing team at Stephens Media Group,” commented Rivers. “I am looking forward to working with the incredible talent at Warm 101.3 (WRMM), 94.1 The Zone (WZNE), and Fickle 93.3 (WFKL). The stations, and the cluster as a whole, are market leaders, and I am looking forward to continuing the great run of success that they have had in Western New York while bringing a new attitude and passion to the group to help lead it into the future. I want to thank Stephens Media Group’s SVP of Programming Bob Thornton, Rochester General Manager Mike Ninnie, and Alternative Format Captain Josh Venable for entrusting me to lead SMG Rochester, and for the chance to come back home.”
The new position reunites Rivers with General Manager Mike Ninnie as well as several veteran staff members. Current OM Mike McCoy recently moved to Phoenix for family reasons and will relinquish the post.
