Langmyer Leaving, Wexler Returns To WTMJ & WKTI
Langmyer, who has been in place for five years, announced his departure Thursday in a staff memo, which read, in part, “It’s been a true honor to lead our group over these past five years. I’m extremely proud of our terrific team — and honored to have had the opportunity to work with you. I will leave Radio City with a fond place in my heart for you and these terrific stations. I’ll continue to be a cheerleader for the team and for you, individually, for more chapters of personal and group success.”
For Wexler, the move brings his career full-circle — he began his broadcasting journey in 1977 as an intern at WTMJ, which was then owned by Journal Communications. He was on-air at WTMJ and WKTI in the late ’70s and early ’80s before crossing the street as PD of WISN-AM in 1985. In 2007, he returned to Journal as VP/GM of WTMJ-TV, WTMJ-AM and WKTI-FM in addition to his corporate role, overseeing television and radio operations in several Journal markets. In 2014, he was promoted to head Journal’s radio division, leading the company’s 34-station group across eight markets. He was named Scripps VP of Radio following the Journal/Scripps merger in 2015.
