Foster, Schuld Leave AJE: A restructuring in the promotion department at Average Joes Entertainment has regionals Gwen Foster (West Coast) and Joe Schuld (Midwest) exiting as their positions are eliminated. VP Tony Morreale remains, while the other regional Wix Wichman (Southeast, Northeast) has shifted his focus more toward writing that draws on his comedy and TV hosting background. "We're getting back to the core of what Average Joes is all about," Morreale tells Country Aircheck. "We are still very interested in radio, we're just not going to work with stations in the same way our competitors do. Serving radio on a market-by-market basis, having them play the new Colt Ford song and working with them on shows will definitely be a part of this next chapter. A lot of exciting things are on the way for AJE!"

Foster has been with AJE more than three years (CAT 9/9/2010). Her background includes Phoenix Country stations KMLE and KNIX, as well as radio promotion with Treehouse. Reach her at 480-495-2209 or here. Schuld joined AJE shortly after Foster (10/12/2010) and is managing Gunnar & The Grizzly Boys, who have a song on AJE's Mud Digger 5 collection, out May 20. Reach him at 615-497-3892 or here, and learn more about the band here.
