Rick Marshall Operations Manager

Rick is the Operations Manager of KDAT, KHAK, KRNA & KRQN in Cedar Rapids and KOEL AM & FM, KCRR, and KKHQ in Waterloo. He's also regional operations manager for our stations in Dubuque and Quad Cites, IA; Topeka, KS; Jefferson City, MO; Grand Junction, CO; Sioux Falls, SD; Rochester, MN and Bismarck, ND. Rick is also our KDAT Program Director and has been working in radio for longer than he'd like to admit. He began his broadcast career at the age of 17, writing comedy material for the morning show at WRKO, Boston. It was then off to the University of Massachusetts, where Rick managed the student-run station WMUA, while getting a degree in Mass Communications.

After college, Rick spent six years working for ABC Radio at their locally owned stations in San Francisco and Chicago. In 1980, Rick joined Frank N. Magid Associates, a world-wide media research and consulting firm located here in Cedar Rapids. He rose to the rank of Vice President of Radio Consultation before branching off to form his own company in 1989.

Over the years, Rick has designed radio station formats in markets like New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Hartford... and, of course, Cedar Rapids, where he designed KDAT.
