Clear Channel Los Angeles announced the appointment of music industry veteran, Beata Czechowski, to Assistant PD and Music Director at 102.7 KIIS-FM, effective July 8. Czechowski will replace Julie Pilat, who is expected to announce her next project shortly.
Czechowski will report to John Ivey, Senior Vice President of Programming for Clear Channel Media and Entertainment and Program Director for Los Angeles' No.1 hit music station, 102.7 KIIS-FM. Ivey said, "I?ve had some great music directors in my career, but I am exhilarated for this new change at KIIS. Beata is the perfect complement for me given her history and connections with both sides of the industry. We are so happy to welcome her to the KIIS and Clear Channel family. She has much to offer the company and I can?t wait to get her started."
Czechowski started her career in the music business in June 1999 at WLLD in Tampa as an intern in the programming department. Working through the ranks, her tenure at the station included roles as the Programming Assistant, Music Director, and Assistant Program Director. In November 2006, Czechowski joined Jive Records (currently RCA Records) as National Director of Rhythm/Crossover Promotions in Los Angeles. In addition to her director duties, she also had a special focus with Top 40 stations in the Southern California, Las Vegas, and Arizona regions.
Czechowski said, ?I?m so excited to be starting this new chapter in my life at one of the premier radio stations in the country. Working for KIIS and John Ivey is nothing short of a dream job. As I follow the many great Assistant Program Directors and Music Directors that have worked with John, I am humbled yet thrilled. KIIS has set the bar high for radio, their staff is innovative and passionate with both its on-air and online product. I look forward to being part of this exceptional team and being able to contribute to its continued success.?
