Steiner Joins Audacy As Regional Brand Mgr.
• Audacy welcomes Brad Steiner as Regional Brand Manager. In this role, he will support the execution of programming, music and branding for WNYL (ALT 92.3)/New York, WDZH (ALT 98.7)/Detroit and WSFS (104.3 The Shark)/Miami.
“We’re excited to bring Brad’s leadership on board for three of our leading alternative brands and have him apply his breadth of experience to their day-to-day operations,” said Mike Kaplan, SVP of Programming for Audacy’s Alternative Formats. “We’re looking forward to welcoming him to the team and collaborating to continue the growth of our stations.”
Steiner makes the move to New York City after a two-year run with Cumulus New Orleans, where had originally helped rebuild WZRH (ALT 92.3) into the regional success it is today while leading it through Hurricane Ida that destroyed its 1,000-foot broadcast tower. Along the way, he added programming responsibilities for WRKN and KKND/New Orleans and WRQQ/Baton Rouge. Steiner previously spent 20 years with Bahakel Communications’ Top 40 WDOD (Hits 96)/Chattanooga, TN, rising to APD/afternoon talent.
“To say that I am humbled by this opportunity is an understatement, and I’m not one to understate anything,” said Steiner. “I can’t wait to sit alongside Mike and Christine [Malovetz] crafting the future of some of the most important brands in the country.” Steiner can now be reached at Brad.Steiner@audacy.com.
