The rumors from the past few weeks are starting to become a reality as Audacy has begun the process of restructuring their sixteen CHR stations, much like they did at Alternative and Country last September.

Milwaukee based Brian Kelly remains as Format Captain overseeing the CHRs for the company. His new national programming team for CHR and Rhythmic CHR will include five Regional Vice Presidents of Programming and five Regional Brand Managers overseeing multiple stations.

The five Regional VP/Programming are WZMX Hartford’s DJ Buck, WEZB New Orleans’ Tom ‘Jammer’ Naylor, WTDY-FM Philadelphia’s Nathan Graham, WKSE/WTSS Buffalo’s Sue O’Neil, and WBBM-FM Chicago’s Todd Cavanah. The Regional Brand Managers are WBBM-FM’s Erik Bradley, KSFM Sacramento’s ‘Big Mic’ Buhrman, WPXY Rochester’s Mike Danger, WKRZ Scranton’s Mike O’Donnell, and WXSS-FM/WMYX Milwaukee’s Molly Cruz.

Here are some of the changes at Audacy's CHR operations.
