“We are excited to have Larry join our team,” said Keith Shipman, President & CEO of Horizon Broadcasting Group. “Larry has extensive experience programming radio stations in markets large and small, from San Francisco to Spokane to Palm Springs and will be responsible for all phases of our product development in Central Oregon. Larry has a track record of success everywhere he has been and we look forward to his contributions to our operation in Bend.”
“I’m thrilled to be moving back to the Pacific Northwest to join Keith Shipman and his great team in Bend, Oregon at Horizon Broadcasting Group,” said Snider, who is a native of Seattle. “This move from southern California to Central Oregon puts me in one of the most beautiful and vibrant markets in the country and the opportunity is all the more special because it puts me so much closer to my son and daughter (attending college in Spokane and Moscow, ID).
