Hank's For Everything: As reported over the weekend via Twitter and Facebook, Emmis/Indianapolis OM & WLHK (Hank FM) PD Bob Richards, 'LHK MD/middayer Fritz Moser and Dir./Sales Tracey Bean have been promoted to cluster VP/Programming, 'LHK PD and cluster VP/Sales, respectively. SVP/Market Mgr. Charlie Morgan says, "It has been my privilege to work side-by-side with Bob for more than two decades and without fail, I learn from his thinking and leadership and admire his character and professionalism.
"Fritz has built a career in radio programming that is filled with successes and I am grateful that his path led him to Emmis four years ago," Morgan says. "He has built strong relationships with the Nashville music community and been a great partner to Bob and the HANK team. In Tracey's tenure as DOS, the Emmis cluster has grown from being the third-highest-billing cluster to a dominant No. 1 biller. The sustained growth in revenue is unprecedented in my experience and the fact that Emmis Indianapolis has achieved a 30-share of the radio market is a tribute to Tracey's leadership and the entire sales team here." All three spent time together at then-Susquehanna's crosstown cluster – Richards as the longtime PD of WFMS. Reach Richards here, Moser here and Bean here.
