Salem Media Group has announced a consolidation in their market leadership ranks to provide cost savings and “allow Salem’s most seasoned leaders to expand their impact on the performance of the company”.
- Terry Fahy, Regional VP/GM for Los Angeles, will now also oversee Oxnard.
- Steve Brodsky, GM for San Diego, will also manage Honolulu.
- Dennis Hayes, GM for Portland, will now oversee Seattle as well.
- Kevin Isaacs, GM for Cleveland, will now also manage Pittsburgh.
- Mark Durkin, Regional VP/GM for Sacramento, will also manage Phoenix.
Those promotions follow two similar moves made earlier this year with Carolyn Cassidy managing both Tampa and Columbus and John Gallagher managing both Chicago and Little Rock. Salem notes that some of the displaced GMs will stay on in sales or sales manager roles. The company is also combining Salem Media Reps and the Salem Web Network sales operations with Mike Reed and Mike DeAmicis of Salem Media Reps taking leadership.
