Connoisseur Country KBAY & Hot AC KEZR OM J. Love has departed after nearly a year on the job. He joined the company from the PD job at Audacy Hot AC KMXB/Las Vegas (Breaking News 7/24/25). "I'm incredibly grateful for the opportunity to work alongside such a talented group of people and for everything we were able to accomplish together," he shared on social media. "I'm proud of the work we did, the relationships I built, and especially the progress we made with both brands ... I'm looking forward to what's next and excited to see where the next chapter takes me."
Love spent 11 years in Las Vegas, with previous stops in San Diego, Reno, Detroit and New Orleans. He started his radio career at then-Rhythmic Top 40 KHQT/San Jose. No word on plans for the position, but the move comes as KBAY is preparing to move to the 98.5 frequency Wedneday (CAT 7/17).
