Oliviero Named SVP/MM of Entercom NYC
• Entercom welcomes Chris Oliviero back, this time as SVP/Market Manager for Entercom New York, effective June 1. In this role, he will oversee 1010 WINS, WNYL (ALT 92.3), WNEW (NEW 102.7), WCBS-AM 880, WFAN-AM/FM, WCBS-FM and WNSH (New York’s Country 94.7).
Oliviero succeeds Susan Larkin, who recently assumed the role of Chief Operating Officer for the company. Larkin said, “Chris is an exceptional leader with proven success developing talent, growing many of our leading brands and building a thriving culture. We’re thrilled to welcome him back to take the helm of his hometown where his energy, passion and drive will help further raise the bar of excellence in the top media market in the country.”
Oliviero was previously Executive Vice President of Programming at Entercom and was an integral member of the senior management team that led the company’s 2017 merger with CBS Radio. Prior to that merger, Oliviero spent 22 years at CBS Radio, including as Executive Vice President of Programming, overseeing the organization’s 117 music and talk stations in 26 markets.
“Radio in New York is an incredibly special place, so to have the chance to return to a collection of the most iconic and influential brands on the dial is humbling,” said Oliviero. “Our stations are in many ways the soundtrack of the city. I’m confident that along with all my Entercom New York colleagues we will add to this legacy. I can’t wait to reconnect with so many old friends and of course meet new ones as well.”
