Cumulus Exec. Action: Charleston & Savannah
Bob Walker, Executive Vice President of Cumulus Media, said of Mastel, “We are thrilled that Eric will be moving to Charleston to lead our team and our great brands. He is an accomplished leader and will compliment the strong team in Charleston nicely.” Prior to joining Cumulus in 2011, Mastel served as President of Max Media for 12 years and was also VP/Market Manager for Entercom Communications in Virginia Beach, VA.
Mastel said, “I would like to thank Mary Bernerand Bob Walker for affording me this fantastic opportunity. There is a great team in place that knows nothing but success in Charleston. We had a great eight-year run at Cumulus Savannah, achieving many milestones. While I’m saddened to be leaving the team, which is more like family, I know that Gigi South is the right person to help that business continue to surpass its goals and raise their ceilings. I’m looking forward to this exciting new chapter in my career.”
South commented, “To say that I’m overjoyed to return to the Savannah-Hilton Head market with Cumulus would be an understatement. A thriving market, a results-focused team, the support and tools available from Cumulus and our dominant signals are enough to get anyone excited. Many thanks to Mary Berner, Bob Walker and Eric Mastel for this awesome opportunity.”
