Audacy has announced the promotion of Corey Crockett to Director of Programming.
Crockett joined Audacy in November 2019 as evening host on the company’s LGBTQ+ “Channel Q” and weekend host on the company’s Alternative stations. He joined the company’s central content team in January 2022. He has also worked for iHeartMedia Norfolk VA as APD/MD/afternoon host on CHR “Now 105.3” WNOH and morning host at Rhythmic AC “Movin 107.7” WMOV-FM from 2015-19 and held multiple roles at the company’s Rochester & Syracuse NY stations from 2013-19. He has also served as a digital content producer for WPIX-TV New York.
In a memo shared with us, Audacy SVP/Programming Dave Richards writes:
Congrats are due! We’re very proud to let you know that Corey Crockett rises to the position of Director, Programming.
Over the last year and a half since joining Audacy, Corey has proven himself day in and day out, by leading the execution of such initiatives as Hip Hop Made, I’m Listening, 1Thing and Launch, and as a key part of the rollout of our partnerships with ReelWorld, USRN and Live Nation. He also plays a critical role in the central programming departments communication, collaboration and coordination to the extent that we wouldn’t do it justice by listing it here.
It’s rare when someone joins a team and immediately establishes creativity, structure and leadership in such a short time. And on top of that he does it all with a smile and a thank you.
Please join Jeff and I in congratulating Corey on this moment.
