Connoisseur's Peter Kosann Steps Down

Peter Kosann has stepped down as chief operating officer of Connoisseur Media in order to focus full-time on Compass Media Networks, the radio network he founded.

Compass opened its doors earlier this year with Free Beer & Hot Wings, a daily morning show and Download HD, an audio imaging and production service. On Monday (March 23), the network signed a deal to syndicate The Lars Larson Show, formerly syndicated by Westwood One.

Kosann is the former president and CEO of Westwood One. His noncompete with the network ended in January.
