The Zone (KZZO, 100.5 FM), which has had unspectacular ratings in recent years, has hired a new program director from New York City and shuffled its on-air lineup.
Jeff Zuchowski, formerly the PD at WKTU (featuring "movin'" adult rhythmic music) begins May 15.
Meanwhile, the morning team of Keith & Monica are history. Keith Brooks has been moved to the evening shift, and Monica Lowe is going it alone in the mornings - at least for the time being.
"We just felt the morning show wasn't working," says Steve Cottingim, general manager of Sacramento's CBS Radio group. "It was the chemistry. Both of them are great talents, but it didn't work (together)."
The Zone will not change formats, Cottingim says. ("No way that's happening.") But he says that Zuchowski will continue to evaluate the station's DJs and the morning show in the coming weeks.
