Audacy has promoted Greg Stocker to Brand Manager of Conservative Talk 1210 WPHT Philadelphia.
Stocker has been with WPHT for his entire career since starting as an intern in 2003. He was producer of the Michael Smerconish Show from 2005 to 2013 and has been Executive Producer Rich Zeoli’s morning show since then. He was promoted to Assistant Program Director in 2019.
Stocker fills half of the position that had been held by Spike Eskin until his move to WFAN New York earlier this year. Eskin’s primary duties were programming Sports 94.1 WIP Philadelphia, but added oversight of WPHT when Jared Hart departed the station in July 2019.
Stocker initially joined the company as an intern in 2003 after obtaining a degree in TV/Radio from Northampton County Community College. From 2005 through 2013, he was producer of “The Michael Smerconish Show” and since 2014, he has been executive producer of “The Rich Zeoli Show.” In 2019, he was named Assistant Brand Manager in addition to his producing role.
