David Barron at the Houston Chronicle reports Ryan
McCredden, who most recently was program director for KQTH-FM and KFFN-AM in Tucson , Ariz. , will
assume the position vacated by Gavin Spittle, who left CBS Radio’s Houston cluster to become program director for the
company’s talk stations in Dallas .
McCredden, a native of Wisconsin ,
worked for four years with CBS Radio in Dallas ,
including three years as Spittle’s assistant program director before moving to Tucson in 2010. He also
was executive producer of the Texas Rangers Radio Network.
“My goal is to grow the station in ratings and revenue, and
I think that can be accomplished,” he said. “I’ve been listening a lot (to
KILT) since hearing of the opportunity, and it sounds like great radio to me.
It keeps me listening. I’m thrilled to be working with such talented hosts.”
McCredden has worked for stations in Eau
Claire , Wisc., and Madison , Wisc.,
in addition to his duties at CBS Radio’s KRLD-AM-FM in Dallas
and the Journal Broadcast Group stations in Tucson .
McCredden inherits a station that languished in the ratings
prior to 2009 despite its association with the Texans but has moved into the
top 10 among men 25-54 both in and out of Texans season as the team has
improved.
