What About Bob?

He succeeds Chris Crowley, who left in September (CAT 9/8) and will also serve as Brand Mgr. for AC sister WMSX. “[Bob] has a track record of success throughout his career that is beyond impressive,” says Market Pres./CRO Mark Plimpton. “Bob is a winner and will be a key component to our success as we strive to be the No. 1 media company in Buffalo.” He joined then-Entercom/Rochester in 2010 (CAT 11/18/10), returning to WBEE where he served as OM/PD from 1987-1996, following time with Beasley/Miami, then-Clear Channel/Nashville and his own CountryRadioConsultants.com.
