Work in Colorado
Kevin Callahan was a programming leader in Clear Channel’s Colorado Springs cluster in the early 2000s. Contemporary directories identify him as program director of KKLI-FM 106.3 and KVUU-FM 99.9, while Radio & Records identified him as the cluster operations manager.
Callahan also helped create and program KMOM-FM “Mother 96.1.” A July 2001 R&R profile reported that Callahan and Clear Channel regional vice president of programming Rich Hawkins developed the classic-rock format after reviewing local research. Callahan devised the station’s “Mother” tattoo-style logo and described its locally programmed, harder-edged presentation.
Where Are They Now?
As of July 2026, Callahan is executive director of programming and operations for Pamal Broadcasting, overseeing 25 stations in five markets, and president of Sonic Maple Media. Barrett Media’s biography also notes his earlier 12-year tenure as Audacy’s West Coast regional vice president of programming for country radio.
