Herriott (left), who was most recently General Sales Manager for WLS/Chicago, will also focus on Green Bay Packers and Milwaukee Brewers networks. In addition, current WKTI GSM Eric Lauer (right) expands his responsibilities to include WTMJ.

Tom Langmyer, VP/GM of Scripps Radio Milwaukee and VP, News/Talk/Sports for E.W. Scripps said of Herriott, “Bill is a dedicated, mature, battle-tested, experienced leader who knows how to accomplish goals in a very competitive marketplace — and he most certainly understands how to lead at legendary stations like ours. Bill has driven strong results, selling major league teams. I saw this firsthand at WGN/Chicago with the Cubs, Blackhawks and other team partners — and it will be great to see what he’ll do here with the Packers and Brewers.”

Weighing in on Lauer, who joined the company a year ago from Cox Media Group in Jacksonville, FL, Langmyer said, “We’re also very fortunate to have the confident and encouraging leadership of Eric Lauer. Eric has already made a big difference with our WKTI team — and he’s earned the opportunity to formally bring his passion and knowledge to the WTMJ team, as well.”
