| John Kentera |
The Union-Tribune reports Kentera, who is known on the air as Coach, will continue to serve as general manager of the San Diego Sockers, the 14-time indoor soccer champions.
"I started at 690 XTRA Gold doing promotions and traffic reports," Kentera said. "I've been in the business for a long time, and it was just time to step away.
"I'm not done with broadcasting, though. I'd like to stay in the business in some capacity. I'm really looking forward to the next opportunity."
Kentera first went on the air in 1990, with a high school sports show and doing fill-in work.
Through the years, he has done pre- and postgame shows for the Chargers and Padres, worked San Diego State and USD football, worked network TV broadcasts as an analyst and had a weekly high school show until recently.
Mike Glickenhaus President & Market Manager of Broadcast Company of the Americas issued the following statement:
"It is with mixed emotions that I want to inform you that Coach John Kentera has decided to resign from Mighty 1090 / BCA effective today. John has been an important part of the development of the Mighty 1090 from it’s very beginnings and he has been a positive force in the San Diego sports scene for an even longer period of time.
He has been a constant on the San Diego airwaves for over twenty five years beginning with a High School Sports Show on San Diego’s original sports station XTRA Sports 690. John has been involved with most of the San Diego teams over the years including Chargers, SDSU, Sockers and of course most recently with the San Diego Padres post game show.
We sincerely appreciate John’s contributions and wish him and his family all the best for the future."
