Media Moves

Kaelan Dorr will be the company’s executive political producer. Dorr worked on President Trump’s 2016 campaign and was subsequently appointed director of congressional communications. He wasted no time announcing his hire in the president’s favorite social forum.

For the past seven months, Zachary has been SVP/Market Manager for Entercom’s Southern New England Region, and before that held the VP/Market Manager dual role in Boston for four years. He will also continue as Market Manager in Hartford, CT, while the company searches for a permanent replacement.

Until November 2016, Michelle Redberg was primarily known for her experience as a sales executive and marketing specialist in television. She jumped to the radio business, taking an AE position. Now, she's been upped to VP/Sales for a cluster owned by one of the nation's largest radio station owners.

His resume includes stints at such famous Chicago radio stations as WLS-AM and WGN-AM. His LinkedIn profile notes that from 1978 to 1980 he was an actor, signed to Universal Pictures. There'll be no acting for Jeff Hill as of today: He's just been appointed VP/Sales for the Windy City signals owned by one of the nation's biggest radio broadcasting companies.

After a 22-year career at Westwood One, Dennis Green has opted not to slow down and retire. Instead, he'll happily catch some rays, enjoy doing it, and hopefully gain some new clients for a growing barter-based radio industry services provider.

The Tampa Bay Lightning are thisclose to meeting the Las Vegas Golden Knights in the 2018 Stanley Cup Finals. It's a sure bet that Russell Robertson will be cheering mightily for the Bolts. Robertson has just been named SVP/Sales for one top group of radio stations in Tampa-St. Petersburg.

In October 2016, a radio industry veteran left the business. He joined an Austin-based marketing and advertising shop, serving as a senior account manager. The radio bug just bit him again: He's just been named a Market Manager for a cluster of iHeartRadio stations in a top 50 market.

With the departure of its SVP/Sales for similar duties in the Tampa-St. Petersburg market,  iHeartMedia had a choice to make on who would become its next sales leader in the Pacific Northwest's biggest market. That choice came today, with a promotion at iHeart's Seattle-Tacoma station group.

The former Special Counsel in the Competition Policy Division of the FCC's Wireline Competition Bureau has been selected as the second VP/Regulatory Affairs at the American Cable Association.

Entercom has created a new role that calls for an individual to lead strategy, creative development and execution for multiplatform, client partnerships at the radio company. Selected for this task is the SVP for the Altitude Group, which Entercom absorbed through its merger with CBS Radio.

An American Public Media (APM) executive who has risen through the ranks at the Minneapolis-based noncommercial programming entity since joining in August 2011 has just been appointed COO of another leading producer of public radio shows.

The six-year GSM of iHeartRadio's Nashville station group will now have much easier access to Busch Stadium to see her beloved St. Louis Cardinals. As of today, she is now the Sales Manager for four iHeartRadio/St Louis stations.

For most of her 24-year career, one top radio industry market manager has called the Mile High City home. She's been associated with a group of stations that have seen five owners since 1994. Now, after sitting on the sidelines for six months, she's moving across the street to a group of radio stations that were once her longtime competitors.

An individual with more than a decade of experience overseeing a group of radio stations serving the San Francisco Bay Area was recently displaced. As of today, he's no longer on the outside looking in. Instead, he's at a group of stations that were once formidable competitors, charged with bringing these AMs and FMs new riches and increased ratings.

The News Director of Nexstar Media Group's ABC affiliate serving New York's Capital District has just been given the expanded role of Director/Local Content Development. In this new role, he will be responsible "for overseeing the execution and expansion of the company’s strategic local content and viewer engagement initiatives across its broadcast and digital media operations."
