Shocker?
As reported by Radio and Records:
After almost two years in command of Finest City alternative XTRA-FM (91X)/San Diego, PD Phil Manning has left the building due to budget cuts. Manning arrived in America’s Finest City in January 2007, but is best known and loved for spending nearly a decade at KNDD (107.7 the End)/Seattle.
With his departure, MD/afternoon guy Capone is upped to PD, and night goddess Christy Taylor becomes MD. Capone joined the station in May ‘07, having come in from the PD throne at Clear Channel alternative WHRL (Channel 103.1)/Albany, N.Y., while Taylor arrived in March 2008 from the APD/MD/midday gig at Albany Broadcasting active rocker WZMR (104.9 the Edge)/Albany, N.Y.
