Entercom’s Crowley To Be Honored By NAB
• Entercom Chief Digital Officer J.D. Crowley will receive the NAB Digital Leadership Award (DLA) at the 2020 NAB Show in Las Vegas. The award presentation will take place at the Achievement in Broadcasting Dinner on Monday, April 20 at the Encore in Las Vegas. Established in 2015, the Digital Leadership Award honors an individual at a broadcast station, group or network who has had a significant role in transforming a traditional broadcast business to succeed on digital media platforms.
In his Entercom role, Crowley oversees the strategy and operations behind the company’s digital portfolio and guides the modernization of Entercom’s leading brands with a focus on premiere content, next-gen storytelling and digital distribution. Key initiatives include expanding Entercom’s podcast division through the acquisition of Cadence13 and Pineapple Street Studios, and providing content-driven listening through RADIO.COM, the company’s audio streaming service.
Prior to joining Entercom, Crowley held several digital and content leadership positions at CBS, including EVP of Digital for CBS Radio, SVP of CBS Brand Studio, and SVP/GM of Digital for CBS Television Distribution.
As was previously announced, the Achievement in Broadcasting Dinner will also honor the inductees to the NAB Broadcasting Hall of Fame, which this year includes legendary Top 40 personality John Records Landecker.
