Penny Mitchell is a country radio veteran who got her start at Colorado stations in the early 1980s and later programmed and promoted country music on a national level. If you listened to country in Pueblo, Vail, Grand Junction or Denver back then, her name may ring a bell.
Where she is now
Stoney Creek Records, part of BBR Music Group, hired her in November 2015 as director of regional promotions for the Northeast. She reports to Chris Loss, vice president of promotion, who credited her with a big role in helping launch new artists and build their careers over 30-plus years in country radio.
Career
She joined Jones Radio Networks in 1992, where she was program director for both Mainstream and Hot Country, assistant program director and music director of Mainstream Country, and also worked on the air.
Before that, she chose radio over nursing school, leaving her studies in 1982. Her Colorado stops included Denver’s KHOW-FM, KSTR-FM in Grand Junction, KEYQ-FM in Vail and KCCY-FM in Pueblo, though the sources don’t spell out her roles or dates at any of them.
