New Market Manager for Alpha Media’s Alaska Radio Stations

The seven radio stations in Alaska owned by Oregon-based broadcasting chain Alpha Media have a new Market Manager. Nikki Hilton is taking the position after most recently serving as senior vice president of sales in Spokane, Washington for rival broadcaster iHeartMedia.

Hilton oversees a market that includes six stations in Anchorage: 750 AM KFQD, 590 AM KHAR, KWHL 106.5, KOOL 97.3 (KEAG), “The Mix” 103.1 (KMXS), and “KBear” 104.1 (KBRJ), offering formats that include news/talk, sports, rock, adult hits, adult contemporary, and new country, respectively. The group also includes the classic country station 100.9 KAYO in Wasilla.

“After our longtime Market Manager in Alaska, Scott Smith, announced his retirement in January, we’ve been searching nationwide for an outstanding candidate to lead our terrific team in Anchorage and Wasilla,” says Alpha Media Regional President and Chief Compliance Officer Bill McElveen. “We found that leader in Nikki Hilton. Nikki is a remarkable person and media expert and brings all of Alpha’s Core Values to our Alaska markets. We are delighted to have her join the Alpha team in a leadership position.”
