Jeana Gondek is the voice you may have caught on your morning commute with Marty Lenz on KOA‘s Colorado’s Morning News.
How she got to Denver
Her radio life started at WOOD (1300 AM), a news-talk outlet in Grand Rapids, Michigan. From there she went on to WOKV, another news-talk station, this one in Jacksonville. Then came Colorado: she joined KOA in December 2022 and was on the air right away.
What was said at the welcome
Gondek described KOA as a station with a great history that she had long wanted to be part of, and said she was happy to be calling Denver home at last. For his part, KOA program director Dave Tepper felt her personality, experience and passion for news would bring something fresh to the morning show.
