Seattle: Evening Personality Jolene Departing KISW

Jolene
Radio personality Jolene is departing rock KISW 99.9 FM after 11 years of service.  Her last show will be this Friday.

During her time at KISW, she had worked her way up to the station's music director and head of its social media. Jolene also championed Seattle-area music with her Loud & Local show.

About her exit, Jolene said, "[I]t's time for me to seek out new adventures… KISW is in magnificent hands, and I'm excited to see what happens next!”

Jolene will be missed both by staff at KISW and listeners, said Dave Richards, VP of Programming at Entercom Seattle, who has worked with Jolene since she started at KISW.

“Jo came to us over 11 years ago from Des Moines. Starting at night, then to Assistant Music Director, then adding host of Loud & Local, then as Music Director and last year adding KISW Social Media Captain to her duties… No words can explain the dedication Jolene has shown The Rock, and Entercom Seattle. Like a family member leaving the nest, she will be missed by one and all," reflects Richards.

You can hear her last show, which has been dubbed Jolene’s Last Ride, from 6-10pm, either listening live streaming through kisw.com.
