Davis Captain Of Audacy Sports Team

• Audacy announced a new sales and enablement team dedicated to accelerating growth within the Company’s Sports vertical. The team will be led by Audacy veteran Lee Davis and will be charged with developing high-value, high-return programs leveraging the power of Audacy’s sports platform across its broadcast, streaming, podcasting, and ‘Wagertainment’ properties. Under Davis’ leadership, the team will be responsible for sales and execution, managing the entire client lifecycle.

“No medium delivers more value for sports than Audio,” said Brian Benedik, Audacy’s Chief Revenue Officer. “People are spending more time than ever with broadcast Radio, streaming and podcasts, and the demand for compelling sports content across these channels is growing exponentially. Through our sports audio portfolio, powered by over 150 flagship team partnerships, iconic local broadcast brands, award-winning podcasts and sports betting content, Audacy is uniquely positioned to capitalize on a new sales strategy in this arena.”

Davis will serve as Senior Vice President for the team, reporting to Bob Philips, President of Audacy Networks and Multi-market Sales. Davis is a 30-plus-year industry pro who from 1990 to 2005 was key in building Audacy’s WFAN/New York into America’s No. 1 sports radio station, overseeing local and national sales, programming and marketing. After EVP stints with MediaCrossing and Univision Communications, Davis re-joined Audacy in 2018 as SVP of Sales to lead the reboot of the company’s Traffic Weather and Information Network (TWIN’s) on-air content and Ad Operations teams.

Audacy is currently assembling a team under Davis, and he will partner closely with the company’s local market sports leaders across the portfolio.
