O’Shea receives Golden West promotion

November 1979 – Michael O’Shea, former program director at KVI, has been named national program director of Golden West Broadcasters. The program director doesn’t direct any programs, anymore. He directs the talent, inspires them to do their best.
O’Shea’s challenge is to get the best performance out of such diverse personalities, for example, as Gary Owens and Don Drysdale, at KMPC Los Angeles and Bob Hardwick and Bob Robertson at KVI.
O’Shea came to KVI two and a half years ago from Fort Lauderdale Florida. He left KVI four months ago, lured away by the Los Angeles station, KPOL.

Didn't he eventually become CEO of the Ackerley broadcast empire?

  It was KUBE FM and KJR AM/FM in joint venture called New Century Media.
  Ackerley Communications, which had owned the KJRs, contributes those stations to the deal, while a partnership involving KUBE general manager Michael O'Shea contributes KUBE. Ackerley owns the bigger share of New Century Media but O'Shea's group will be the managing partners.
