Todd remarked, “I am thrilled to be back on Dave’s team and to be working with Duncan Payton and Broadcast Architecture in growing KOAS. Duncan has done a lot of work on some strategic areas in a short time that has elevated KOAS already. Dave, Tim (Pohlman) and Chris (Maguire) are some of radio’s finest operators and have assembled a world class team at RBG. In a short time they have built an outstanding and highly respected radio company who care about growing successful people and radio stations that I’m excited to be a part of.”
