www.americanradiohistory.com RìclTHE NETWORK ZJptonF O R T Y INTERVIEW Spurred To New Heights INTERVIEW BY JEFF SILBERMAN is one thing to take a station that's at the bottom of the ratings ladder and move it to or near the top. It's another to take an already prosperous station and make it even more successful. Rick Upton is doing just that as Program Director of KTFM San Antonio. For years, KTFM has been a heritage Top 40 station with a Crossover/Dance music mix that attracted a core demo of Hispanic females in droves. After battling KTFM earlier in his career at crosstown KITY, Upton returned to San Antonio and moved KTFM towards the middle, integrating more Mainstream Pop with the most mass -appeal Dance and Crossover. The result has been a continued dominance at the top of the 12+ heap, with an added bonus of increased older-demo listeners. Upton told Network Forty Editor Jeff Silberman how he has made the transition so successfully and how he plans to build on that success. In your career, you've done And what I've done here is - listeners and more quarter-hours. Mike does a report on it.
