Remember: Might Makes Wright

• Wright Media Group announced a major expansion this week, assembling what President Brian Wright calls a “street-level alliance team” designed to help broadcasters win ratings and revenue in what he believes is radio’s most critical and opportune moment in decades. “For the last few years I have been looking for the right timing and the right people,” Wright said. “All of this came together within the last few months.”

Now, let’s meet Wright’s newly enhanced team: Scott Meier: A 50+ year industry veteran with experience in markets ranging from 2,000 to 17 million, bringing ownership, management, and strategic growth leadership experience across radio and television • Kevin Walker: A 30+ year broadcaster with senior leadership experience in programming and sales. His background spans multiple markets plus video production and podcasting. • Wes Bleed: A 30+ year broadcaster, including a stop at the legendary WGN Radio/Chicago. He’s a specialist in podcasting, video & Marketing & Communications. • Rebecca Wildeboer: Client Relations Director specializing in integrated marketing strategy, community positioning, and measurable engagement growth.

Wright says the firm’s philosophy is simple: Strategy without execution doesn’t move ratings or revenue. “Our industry does not need more commentary,” he said. “It needs leadership, precision, and belief. Local radio wins when it decides to win.” Wright added, “We all believe local radio has its greatest opportunity ever, starting right now. While others debate the challenges, WMG is conquering them. We build custom plans that help stations reach their highest levels of ratings and revenue. Many radio stations are moving away from what makes radio great. We do just the opposite.”
