Ginzkey Back In Omaha To Manage KBBX

Connoisseur Media has named John Ginzkey as general manager of recently-acquired Omaha radio station KBBX (97.7 FM).

Connisseur purchased "Radio Lobo" from the Journal Broadcast Group in June. Connoisseur also has a construction permit on file for a new FM station that it anticipates will be on the air in early 2007.

In a press release, Connoisseur Media Vice President David Bevins said he is delighted to have Ginzkey on board in a familiar city.

"John Ginzkey brings us over 22 years of radio management experience, and 13 of those years were in Omaha," Bevins said.

Ginzkey previously managed Omaha radio station KKCD (105.9 FM) and was also general sales manager for KQKQ (98.5 FM) and KKAR (1290 AM) when they were owned by Mitchell Broadcasting Company.

Since January of 2005, he has been general manager of AAA Entertainment's cluster in Champaign-Urbana, Ill.
