Skip Dillard Named PD of 94.7 The Block/NYC
Dillard crosses the street from Mediaco, where he had served 12 years as VP of Programming and Operations Manager for Mediaco’s WBLS and WLIB/New York. For the past year, Dillard served in a new role as Vice President of National and Community Partnerships for WBLS and WQHT (Hot 97).
“Skip knows the music, the artists, the community and this city and has a depth of knowledge and relationships that make him the premiere choice to be the building block for this new brand,” said Chris Oliviero, SVP/Market Manager, Audacy New York. “His arrival solidifies our commitment to making classic hip hop and throwbacks a vibrant sound on the New York dial, and we are excited to welcome him to The Block.”
“I am truly grateful for the opportunity to join the Audacy team here in New York City,” said Dillard. “There’s nothing quite like the chance to build a new, fun and exciting station for the greater NYC area that will be rooted in the community. I’m honored to accept the challenge.”
