There's a new commander for the two heritage FM rockers serving the Tidewater Region of Virginia under the Hampton Roads Media Group banner, as Carol Commander has departed the role of General Manager at the Saga Communications-owned pair. Succeeding Commander is the stations' Director of Sales.

Its licensee name is Ventana Television, but when one takes a closer look at who is involved, they'll find the name of the Associate General Counsel at home shopping brand QVC. He's has signed off on a deal that will deliver a collection of low-power broadcast TV stations to HC2 Broadcasting.

"The Fan" will no longer be the official radio home of the National Basketball Association club that calls the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul home.
