Names in news

Previously he had worked as a writer and producer at stations in New York, Boston, Pittsburgh and Indianapolis.
Long-time Tucson advertising executive Joe Erceg has joined the sales staff at KOLD. Among his previous stops, Erceg was with Arrowhead Advertising and the Journal Broadcast Group.

Breaking news in lobby
