Former Cranbrook resident and radio station manager Rod Schween has been promoted to the Jim Pattison Broadcast Group's head office in Kamloops.  

Rod Schween has been the operations manager of the company's radio stations in Lethbridge—while still overseeing the Cranbrook radio station properties too—over the last few years. He will now be president of the entire Jim Pattison Broadcast Group and the general manager of the Kamloops Broadcast Centre, with its two radio stations as well as TV-7.

This is a result of the Jim Pattison Broadcast Group announcing that veteran media executive, Rick Arnish, is moving up the corporate ladder—he will remain in Kamloops.

Arnish is slated to become chairman of the Jim Pattison Broadcast Group. He will oversee strategic planning, acquisitions and the regulatory side of the business.

The Jim Pattison Broadcast Group is based out of Kamloops. Congratulations Rod Schween, on your achievement—we wish you much success.
