Lieberman To Run Townsquare Tri-Cities

• Townsquare Media continues to bolster its executive ranks — the company’s latest hire is Ryan Lieberman, who joins the Company as Market President & Chief Revenue Officer for the company’s Tri-Cities, WA radio group in scenic Kennewick, Pasco, and Richland, WA, which includes Country KORD, Hot AC KEYW (98.3 The Key), Mainstream Rock KXRX (97 Rock), Top 40 KOLW (Hot 97.5) and News-Talk KFLD-AM.

Lieberman, a former sales management exec for CBS Radio and Emmis in Los Angeles and Chicago, will report to Townsquare Regional Vice President Kevin Godwin, who said, “Ryan brings nearly 20 years of media leadership and performance to Townsquare; and, fortunately for us, the Tri-Cities opportunity is a perfect fit. Ryan grew up in Washington and has family in and around Tri-Cities. Ryan brings highly competitive experiences, a true sales focus and strong local community awareness and relationships to our Tri-Cities operation. His dynamic background and skillset adds strong leadership to a key market for Townsquare.”

Lieberman commented, “After leaving the Northwest nearly 20 years ago, my family and I are very excited to be coming back. I’ve never been more optimistic for the medium. Townsquare is an exciting company that is at the forefront of embracing multi-platform opportunity. Tri-Cities continues to be a thriving market and I can’t wait to join the team.”

Erik Hellum, Townsquare COO, Local Media, said, “Ryan’s hiring is a great example of Townsquare’s ‘Local First’ focus. Rather than splitting the Market President job with our Yakima market, as we have in the past, Ryan will be 100% focused on the Tri-Cities market, our audience and clients. The fact that Ryan is coming home, and is truly committed to this great community, is even better.”
