Yancey Named Asst. Brand Mgr., 94.7 The Block

• Audacy has promoted André Yancey to Assistant Brand Manager of Classic Hip Hop WXBK (94.7 The Block)/New York. To accept this new position, Yancey crosses the hall from Classic Hits sister WCBS-FM, where he has served as Executive Producer of Scott Shannon in the Morning With Patty Steele since Sept. 2021.

“I’m so excited to have André on the Block team,” said Skip Dillard, Brand Manager of 94.7 The Block. “His versatility and passion impress me every day. André understands and demonstrates the energy, content, social and digital finesse needed to cut through the clutter in today’s media landscape.”

Yancey’s career spans more than 20 years, including a stint at the former 92.3 NOW/New York as a personality and producer for the Rollin’ With Nick Cannon morning show. Before joining Audacy he served as a creative strategist and content developer for long and short-form programming, including Carmen’s Calls and Nick Cannon Radio. He also served as Director of New Media for United Stations Media Networks, developing and deploying apps for Alice Cooper, Chicken Soup for the Soul, Open House Party, and HardDrive Radio.

“I want to thank Skip Dillard for inviting me to join this incredible group,” said Yancey. “We have a great team with Nick Cannon, Shelley Wade and Ed Lover, with more on the way. The Block is a living, breathing organism that’s quickly becoming a part of the community’s social fabric. I extend gratitude to Chris Oliviero, Jim Ryan, and Scott Shannon for your blessings and support in embarking on this new venture. My time with WCBS-FM has been fulfilling and prosperous, with remarkable moments and milestones.”
