Max Tollkoff Takes WFNX OM/PD Post
R&R Alternative Editor Max Tolkoff has been tapped as the new OM/PD of
Alternative WFNX/Boston. The station has been without a PD since the departure
of Cruze in September 2003. This will mark the return of Tolkoff to the station
he programmed from 1989-94. He will be bicoastal, operating from both Boston and
Los Angeles. Tolkoff told R&R, "Clearly I'm deranged, but the
challenge of returning WFNX to its rightful position as a highly influential and
respected Alternative outlet is too great to ignore. It breaks my heart to leave
the R&R family, but maybe one day I can return and be the batty old uncle in the
attic." His last day with R&R is set for Oct. 8, and he'll
start at WFNX shortly afterward. R&R is interviewing potential
candidates for his replacement.
