Iowa Radio: Russ Mottla To Program KFMW Cedar Rapids


NRG Media’s KFMW 107.9 FM Rock 108 (Cedar Rapids-Waterloo) welcomes veteran rock programmer Russ Mottla as Program Director.

Mottla’s career includes the VP/Programming position at Envisage Radio Group in Escondido, CA as well as programming venerable rock stations including WHEB/WGIR Manchester NH, WDRE Long Island NY, WIYY Baltimore MD, KTYD Santa Barbara CA, and WFNX Boston MA.

Mottla said: “Rock 108 is a heritage, mid-western blowtorch and I’ve been an online fan of the station for a long time. Joining GM Jack Taddeo and the great NRG Media staff at such a heritage, rock and roll beast has me eating roofing nails in anticipation!”

Taddeo commented: “Rock 108 has weathered many attacks over 20 years in the format and we plan to remain the #1 rock station in both of our metro markets. We are fortunate to recruit someone of Russ’s caliber to our team and we look forward to continued growth in the future. Here’s a Fun Fact: F ans of the Grand Theft Auto video game franchise will recognize Russ as the voice of DJ Michael Hunt. I anticipate this may lead to some creative voicemail greetings around the station.”
