Weiner’s Upped, Falco’s Back @ Westwood One

• Cumulus Media’s Westwood One announced 1) a promotion for Neal Weiner, and 2) the welcome return of Sue Falco in Affiliate Sales.

Weiner (left) has been elevated to VP of Affiliate Sales for the company’s 24/7 Formats. He’s a 26-year WWO vet who has been an integral part of the Affiliate Sales team working with 24/7 Formats, Music and Entertainment Shows, Sports, and Prep Services. Weiner began his radio career at the late, legendary KQLZ (100.3 Pirate Radio)/Los Angeles, which, interestingly, was owned by Westwood One at the time.

And, after a decade away, Sue Falco (right) returns to the Westwood One fold as Director of Affiliate Sales for the Music & Entertainment division. Falco previously spent six years at the company as part of both the News-Talk and the Country affiliate sales teams until 2011. She spent the past ten years as Director of Affiliate Sales with United Stations.

Both Weiner and Falco report to Stuart Greenblatt, SVP of Affiliate Sales, who remarked, “With more than a quarter century with Westwood One, Neal knows this business inside and out. And Sue’s new role brings her full-circle back to Westwood One, along with valuable experience and strong industry relationships. There are no better people to assume these roles and drive Westwood One’s affiliate sales.”

Weiner said, “We have fantastic new offerings in the pipeline for helping our affiliates to operate smoothly and efficiently, and to sound amazing. I’m honored to assume this role at such an exciting time!” Falco added, “Westwood One is synonymous with great programming and super-sized talent, and I’m thrilled to be back on the team with such a well-respected brand.”
