Dakin Upped To VP/Prog. For Connoisseur
• Connoisseur Media has promoted Keith Dakin to corporate VP of Programming. He was most recently Regional Operations Manager for Connoisseur Connecticut. Dakin has been in the building since July 2010 (joining under previous owner Cox), and before that he programmed the late, great WFNX/Boston.
In making the big announcement, Connoisseur CEO Jeff Warshaw said, “Keith has done a terrific job with our CT stations, and has been an extremely valuable resource for Connoisseur. His ability to work with talent is particularly prized within our company.”
Dakin commented, “I am beyond honored to be given a chance to oversee the programming for Connoisseur Media. Our CEO Jeff Warshaw has assembled a collection of legendary radio stations that I can’t wait to work with. These are huge brands that really connect on a local level and bring unique, interesting and compelling content to our listeners.”
Connoisseur recently added heritage stations WEBE 108 and WICC/Bridgeport, CT and WFRE-FM & WFMD-AM/Frederick, MD to a portfolio that also includes such stalwarts as WPLR/New Haven, WALK-FM/Nassau-Suffolk and WEZN (Star 99.9)/Bridgeport, CT.
