Entercom is moving closer to its Reverse Morris Trust-fueled merger with CBS Radio, and on Tuesday President/CEO David Field revealed in a staff memo that several individuals are adding SVP stripes.
Six other staffers were singled out, and are being promoted “for their performance and leadership.”
In the memo, Field confirmed that the “transformational CBS Radio-Entercom merger” remains on track to merge as early as Nov. 17. That’s subject to Entercom obtaining its required approvals prior to that date.
