Charlie Morgan Leaving Emmis/Mediaco
• After more than 10 years with Emmis, leading Emmis Indianapolis for the first six years and Emmis New York for the past four years, Emmis/Mediaco SVP/Market Manager Charlie Morgan is leaving the company for another opportunity TBA.
In a statement, the company said, “Over the past decade, Charlie has been instrumental in leading the turnaround of Emmis operations in Indianapolis and New York (now Mediaco). His focus on product quality, operational excellence, innovation and perhaps most important on culture and talent development as the ultimate path to winning have been central to our success. Charlie’s emphasis on building great teams through coaching and development has enhanced the careers of countless colleagues over the years at Mediaco, Emmis, Cumulus, IMS Productions and Susquehanna. We sincerely thank him for all his efforts, and wish him the absolute best in his next endeavor.”
Morgan has nearly 40 years of radio industry experience, including a two-decade stint as VP/Market Manager with Susquehanna (now Cumulus) Indianapolis. In 2007, Morgan left radio and was named President/COO of Indianapolis Motor Speedway Productions. Two years later, he was lured back to radio, joining Emmis Indianapolis as SVP/Market Manager, a position he held until he was named Interim NYC Market Manager in January 2016. He was named to the position permanently in August 2016.
As the search for a new permanent leader of Mediaco New York gets underway in earnest, Emmis/Mediaco President Patrick Walsh will serve as interim New York Market Manager.
