iHeartMedia announced today that Barry Allen has been named Program Director for KBFP Sunny 105.3, Bakersfield’s Feel-Good Station, effective January 22.

As Program Director, Allen will be responsible for the day-to-day operations of the station’s music programming and for imaging and branding. He will report to Steve Weed, Area Senior Vice President of Programming for iHeartMedia’s Central California Region.

“We’re excited to have Barry joining our iHeartMedia Bakersfield family,” said Weed.

“When we launched SUNNY 105.3 last year, we filled a major void for Bakersfield listeners and we’re confident that Barry will continue to build out the SUNNY 105.3 brand.”

He also served as an on-air talent at KZRV-FM and KLZZ-FM in St. Cloud, Minnesota; on-air talent for KRWC-AM in Buffalo, Minnesota; and a Program Director and Interactive Manager for BOLD Radio.
