Keith Hastings
After just four month on the job, programmer Keith Hastings has left Greater Media’s building and WCSX 94.7 FM.

Hastings is headed to the Cox Media building in San Antonio to program classic rock KISS 99.5 FM.

"KISS is one of the legendary rock brands in the nation and I'm excited to have one of the best rock programmers in Keith Hastings take the station to the next level," said Dan Lawrie, CMG’s VP/Market Manager San Antonio.

"Keith brings strong leadership, creativity and the ability to develop great talent; assets that will help grow the Bill Madison Morning Show and the station as a whole.”

"After talking to a number of rock PD's in the past few months, I was most impressed with Keith" said Steve Smith CMG’s VP of Programming.

"He knows the rock format and knows what it takes to be competitive today. It's great to have Keith join our programming team in, and I'm confident he will add to our already solid momentum we have in that market."

Hastings' lengthy programming career includes such call letters as WAAF/Boston 2002-2005.  He also spent 18 years with Saga, where he programmed WAQY/Springfield, MA, the late WLZR/Milwaukee and its successor, WHQG (102.9 The Hog). Hastings was also involved in the launch of Connoisseur Media's Long Island Rock station WWSK (94-3 The Shark in Nassau-Suffolk last year.
