Sacramento Radio: PD Joey Tack To Exit KNCI

Joey Tack

Following two successful years with Bonneville Country KNCI 105.1 FM Sacramento, Program Director and midday personality Joey Tack has elected not to renew his contract at its conclusion on June 30 and will step down from his post effective July 1. 

He intends to relocate further East in order to be closer to family. 

“While it is bittersweet to be leaving a station where we have experienced so much success, I am grateful to have the support and understanding of the Bonneville team as I fulfill my family’s need to move further East to be closer to family,” said Tack. “I am seeking my next opportunity to create great content and advance our industry and want to specifically thank Chad Rufer and Steve Cottingham for the opportunity to learn, grow and succeed at KNCI these past two years.”

In the two years since joining KNCI, Tack has helped boost ratings and revenue for the station, earning recognition for his unique promotional initiatives. He served as CRS Agenda Committee Vice Chair, led the station to a CMA Large Market Station of the Year win in 2020, earned an ACM Large Market Station of the Year nomination in 2021, hosted and moderated CRS360 webinars, and was named the CRS/Country Aircheck Awards 2020 New Face of Country Music.

Tack joined the Bonneville group in July 2019 from SummitMedia Rhythmic Top 40 WKHT/Knoxville where he served as PD and on-air host. Prior to nearly 15 years with WKHT, he spent more than five years with iHeartMedia/Quad Cities, IA-IL. Tack is excited to continue pursuing his career following his time with KNCI and is seeking the next opportunity where he can apply his passion for radio and music while working to propel the future of the medium and the evolution of the product.
