Miami Nice For Andy Holt
• UPDATED: As first reported Tuesday by RAMP, Andy Holt is indeed headed to Entercom Miami as Program Director of AC WLYF (101.5 Lite FM) and Classic Hits WMXJ (102.7 The Beach), effective January 2.
“I couldn’t be more excited to bring Andy Holt back to Entercom. His coaching style, leadership skills, and proven track record with the Adult Contemporary format will ensure Lite FM and The Beach continue to dominate the Miami market,” said Keriann Worley, SVP/Market Manager of Entercom South Florida. Holt is a 33-year radio pro who spent the past two years as PD of Bonneville AC KOSI/Denver, but he’s no stranger to Entercom, having spent 2000-2013 with the company as OM of AC/Classic Rock duo WLMG (Magic 101.9) and WKBU (Bayou 95.7)/New Orleans. His other notable programming stops include KOIT/San Francisco, WFLC/Miami, KSMG/San Antonio and WTRG & WRSN/Raleigh. Holt began his career at KSCS/Dallas.
“Ecstatic, grateful. Those two words best describe how I feel to be returning to Entercom,” said Holt. “I spent thirteen terrific years with the company from 2000-2013. The Miami-Ft. Lauderdale group comprises an amazing array of brands. With Lite, I’ll have the privilege of continuing the growth and evolution of one of America’s premier AC brands. My thanks to SVP/Market Manager Keriann Worley, Regional VP Doug Abernethy and President of Programming Pat Paxton for this great opportunity.”
Holt succeeds Rob Sidney, who exited last week after 27 years.
