In my four months on the Board, I’ve been incredibly impressed by your work and dedication to Audacy’s success. I’m also thankful for David Field’s substantial legacy and leadership over the last 27 years. His ongoing insight will be invaluable to me and the Board as he transitions to an advisory role for Audacy.
Over the next few months, I will work closely with our executive team to ensure we remain focused on our principles, make smart investments and implement changes that will generate long-term success and efficiency. The team has my full confidence and support as we move forward and begin the search for a permanent CEO. I ask for your patience as we develop and implement these strategies, and I promise to deliver clear and transparent communication at each milestone.”
