In what can best be described as a shocking turn of events, Mark Adams has been released by Rose City Radio/Portland, Ore., where he has been PD of hugely successful rhythmic KXJM (Jammin' 95-5) and OM of news/talk monster KXL-AM. Rumors are currently sweeping the market that Jammin' will soon undergo some major changes.
Adams was named PD of Jammin' eight years ago, just five months after the station signed on, and during his tenure, racked up 26 -- count 'em -- 26 No. 1 18-34 books, which, experts agree, does not suck.
His previous programming stops include two years with the late KZQZ(Z95.7)/San Francisco, a year with Saga hot AC WPNT/Milwaukee, and four years in Fresno programming KBOS and KCBL (the Ball).
