Corey O’Brien is making the move from X96/SLC to Seattle’s 107.7 The End to do mornings and be the station’s Assistant Program Director. O’Brien spent 15 years at X96. Also, Pepper has made the move to the Northwest tip of the USA as The End’s Assistant Music Director and middayer. To accommodate the moves, Red has moved on from mornings at The End. End Program Director Mike Kaplan says of the moves, ”As the evolution of The End continues, I’m looking forward to both Corey and Pepper being part of our next steps. They both come with great amount of skill sets and will help us as we further evolve The End brand.”
