Donald L. Drennan was a partner and general manager of Western Broadcasting Company in Colorado Springs. If you listened to country radio in the Springs in the late 60s, Western Broadcasting was the company behind two of the stations you could tune in.
Western Broadcasting
The 1969 Broadcasting Yearbook lists Donald in those roles and shows the company owning KPIK 1580 and KPIK-FM. Both stations leaned country, which made the pair an early AM-FM country combination in Colorado Springs. The listing confirms his role in 1969 but doesn’t tell us how long he owned or managed the stations.
This is a short page built from one directory listing. If you worked with Donald or have more to add, we’d love to hear from you.
