Another notable programming move is making waves as Connoisseur Media continues to strengthen its Virginia operations, naming veteran broadcaster Ian Rambo as the new Operations Manager for its Fredericksburg cluster while also handing him the microphone for mornings on Country 93.3 WFLS.
Rambo arrives with a resume built on leadership, programming, and on-air success. Most recently, he served as Operations Manager for Riverfront Broadcasting in Rapid City, South Dakota, while waking up listeners each morning on Classic Hits Q92.3 KQRQ. His career has also included programming leadership in Rapid City, along with radio stops in Topeka, Kansas, and Lawrence, Kansas, giving him experience across multiple formats and market sizes.
In announcing his new role, Rambo said he’s excited to become part of the Connoisseur Media family and praised the leadership team for believing in his vision. He also shared his enthusiasm about connecting with listeners throughout Fredericksburg and the surrounding communities while helping continue the station’s momentum.
The appointment marks the beginning of a new chapter for the Fredericksburg cluster following the recent departure of Jeff Cochran, who had overseen the operation since 2023 while also hosting afternoons on 96.9 The Rock WWUZ.
For Connoisseur Media, the move represents more than filling a vacancy. Bringing in a programmer who has balanced leadership responsibilities with a successful on-air presence demonstrates the company’s continued commitment to investing in live, local radio. In today’s competitive landscape, stations continue to recognize that great programming starts with great leadership, and Rambo now has the opportunity to help shape the next era for one of Virginia’s most recognizable radio groups.
With a new Operations Manager in place and a fresh voice greeting listeners each morning on WFLS, Fredericksburg radio fans can expect a renewed focus on community, personality, and local connection.
