November 28, 2011, San Francisco, CA – After over 22 years at 101.3 FM in San Francisco, Don Bleu will take over Morning Drive at Clear Channel sister-station, Oldies 103.7 on January 3, 2012, according to President and Market Manager J.D. Freeman.
“The change is designed to bring the enormous talent, enthusiasm and fan base of Don Bleu to Oldies 103.7 and propel the station into a market-leading position along side the rest of our FM stations,” Freeman explained. “When we launched Oldies, part of our long-term vision was creating a marquee morning show and Don is the perfect person to do that,” he added.
“We’re excited to bring such a huge name and talent to our newest FM station,” said Director of Operations Don Parker. “Don Bleu is in a class of his own and I’m thrilled to have him be the catalyst in establishing another heritage San Francisco brand for decades to come!”
Don Bleu commented, “Wow! What a run. Thanks to every one of those fans over the past 22 years at 101.3. Now I’m like Meg Whitman going from EBay to HP. Hopefully, I’ll be the final piece in building another historic station at 103.7. Get ready for Beatles and Bleu!”
Parker added, “Don Bleu leaves enormous shoes to fill on Star 101.3 (KIOI-FM) and we expect to announce the next phase of mornings on Star soon.”
