Effective October 1, 2026, 30-year Salem veteran Linnae Young will assume the role of President of Broadcast Media while continuing to serve as Salem’s Chief Revenue Officer, and Jeff Reisman will be promoted to Executive Vice President of Operations.

From Salem Creators Agency to Salem Political Solutions, we’re finding new ways to serve audiences and partners. I’m excited to help build what’s next, and to continue to help develop future leaders.”
During his 22-year career with Salem, Reisman has held a variety of leadership positions, including General Sales Manager, Director of Sales, GM of Salem’s Chicago market, Regional Vice President, and Senior Vice President.
