Walus Back Where He Belongs

• Adams Radio Group has named Chris Walus as Director of Sales for its Salisbury-Ocean City, MD cluster. This is very familiar turf for Walus, who notably spent eight years with iHeartMedia, rising to Area President for the company’s 11 stations in the Wilmington-Dover and Salisbury-Ocean City, MD markets until last July. Prior to joining iHeartMedia, Walus spent 11 years as General Sales Manager for Delmarva Broadcasting. He previously served in similar roles for Benchmark Communications and CBS Radio, and he began his career with Capital Broadcasting.

Ron Stone, CEO of Adams, commented, “Chris Walus is a great addition to our staff. He brings a wealth of talent and market knowledge to our team and 18 years of on-the-street experience in sales and management from inside the market. We rarely get a chance to partner with an ‘insider,’ so to speak! We have been searching for some time for the right person to lead our sales efforts in Maryland & Delaware and I believe we have finally found him!”

Walus remarked, “I’m excited to be joining Adams Radio in Salisbury-Ocean City, the market I have enjoyed working in since 1992! Adams has five great brands, three of which have been in the same format for 30 years, a rarity these days! The Adams vision commitment to community service and the live and local aspect of their products sets the company apart and this is what I have missed the most. I could not be more excited to be back on the street with a sale staff!”
