Audacy’s Busy Week Continues
• Before we get to the latest round of downsizing, Audacy announced a streamlining of its market leadership with the elimination of traditional Market Manager roles in favor of a group of 10 Regional Vice Presidents:
Dan Barron (Greensboro, Greenville, New Orleans, Memphis, Chattanooga) • Matt Bewley (Miami, Orlando, Gainesville) • Sarah Frazier (Austin, Dallas, Houston) • Kieran Geffert (San Diego, Riverside, San Francisco, Seattle, Sacramento) • Micah Goldberg (Denver, Portland, Las Vegas, Phoenix) • Pete Kowalski (Detroit, Minneapolis, Madison, Milwaukee, Cleveland) • Roxanne Marati (Kansas City, St. Louis, Wichita) • Brian Rooney (New York, Boston, Hartford, Springfield) • Dave Scopinich (Philadelphia, Washington, DC, Baltimore, Wilkes-Barre) • Michael Spacciapolli (Norfolk, Richmond, Pittsburgh, Buffalo, Rochester)
Scopinich, Spacciapolli, Frazer and Rooney will report to Regional President Mark Hannon; Rooney’s New York market duties will report to Regional President Chris Oliviero; Kowalski reports to Regional President Debbie Kenyon; Marati, Barron and Bewley report to Region President Claudia Menegus; while Bewley’s Los Angeles market, along with Geffert and Goldberg report to Regional President Jeff Federman.
In a staff memo, Audacy Pres./CEO Kelli Turner noted that some current Market Managers will transition into new roles as SVP of Sales in local markets. Turner’s memo added, “Additionally, as you may read in the trade press, we’ve made the difficult decision this week to eliminate a limited number of positions across different departments. These decisions are never easy or made lightly, and we are handling this process as respectfully and professionally as possible.”
That said, RAMP is updating a running list of downsized Audacy employees HERE.
