Pros On The Loose
• Longtime New England programmer/personality and engineering ace Mark Ericson is on the beach — yes, Hampton Beach — after nearly 22 years with Townsquare Media Country WOKQ/Portsmouth-Dover-Rochester, NH.
You may recall that Ericson (left) ably served as WOKQ’s on-air Operations Manager for 19 years until Townsquare re-purposed him into a regional technical manager position to care for their clusters in New Hampshire and Portland and Augusta, Maine, as well as two transmitter sites atop Mt. Washington. That role continued until May, when the position was eliminated.
Ericson is now looking to get back into programming/on-air/operations and put his many years of valuable experience to good use for [your company logo here]. His preference would be to stay in the New England area. “I’ve still got plenty of gas left in the tank,” says Ericson, who can be reached at 603-343-2938 and/or ericsound@aol.com.

• Dallas-based promo pro James Marsh (right) is now a free agent as he exits his position as Southwest Regional rep for Big Machine Records after four years, the result of corporate restructuring.
Marsh’s 20-year label career includes earlier stops at Warner Bros. Records as Southwest Regional Pop/Rock rep; Universal Music Group as Southwest Artist Development Rep; Southwest Pop/Rock Regional for Island Def Jam and Atlantic Records and a stint as National Director, Pop Promotion for Roadrunner Records. Marsh is ready to put his passion back to good use ASAP and can be easily contacted at 713-927-6302 or Jamesboomarsh@gmail.com.
