Duncan Named Brand Manager, WXRT/Chicago
• UPDATED: Audacy welcomes Laura Duncan as the new Brand Manager of heritage Triple A 93 WXRT/Chicago, effective October 4. Duncan succeeds Greg Solk, who recently assumed the new role of Vice President of Programming & Operations for Audacy Chicago.
“Those who know Laura and her work will understand why she was a top candidate to assume the reins at XRT,” said Solk. “Her gifted sensibilities as a leader and a programmer are only matched by her kindness and generous heart. Laura will do amazing things at XRT and continue the success of this legendary and format leading station.”
Duncan comes home after 19 years at Sarkes Tarzian Triple A 92.3 WTTS/Indianapolis, the last three years as PD and afternoon host. Duncan has also served as PD of Sarkes Tarzian Alternative sister WGBJ (Alt 102.3)/Fort Wayne, IN and News-Talk WGCL-AM/Bloomington, IN since 2019.
“Having listened since the 1970s, WXRT has provided a lifetime of influence, shaping me personally and professionally,” said Duncan. “It will be my honor to walk hand-in-hand with the poets of the airwaves, the legends who provide the magic and the memories. My thanks to Greg Solk and Rachel Williamson for extending an invitation to the most iconic party in the world. I passionately accept.”
• Moments after Duncan’s big news was made public, WTTS President/GM (and former Program Director) Brad Holtz remarked, “Laura has been integral to the success of WTTS for many, many years. We wish her the very best as she takes her talents to Chicago. Now, we launch a search for the next WTTS Program Director as well as our next afternoon on-air host for 92.3FM.”
