First KRTH takes one step forward, now they take ten steps backward.

Former midday KBIG Jock.

Supposedly his Grandpa/uncle works for Channel 52 as well. He was in the era when KBIG was considered too AC Sounding for a supposed Hot AC(1999-2005)<P ID="signature">______________

I recall he was the jock that replaced Lance Ballance on K-Big when he left. I always thought Lance sounded much better than Josh. Why didn't K-Big try to keep him from leaving?

Lance wanted to program, and for all but a select few, the only way to start down that path is to move to a smaller market. Lance left KBIG to become APD at the top rated KSFI in Salt Lake City and a year or so later became PD at CC's KOSY in SLC. He now programs for CBS in Memphis at WMC 100 FM and seems to be quite happy.

As for his replacement at KBIG, yes, Lance was a leap above him, and Lance usually had decent numbers in middays as well. He also left on good terms with those he worked with...
