Power Play: Audacy is eliminating the Market Manager role companywide, switching to a structure in which 10 Regional VPs, each responsible for multiple markets, report to one of the company's five Regional Presidents (listed below). This move follows a previous restructuring on the programming side that found Brand Mgrs. reporting to Format VPs (CAT 1/28). As part of the latest move away from MMs, Audacy is introducing the SVP/Sales position in local markets. In many cases, that role is being filled by existing market leadership. The new Regional VPs are:

• Dan Barron (Greensboro, Greenville, New Orleans, Memphis, Chattanooga)
• Matt Bewley (Miami, Orlando, Gainesville)
• Sarah Frazier (Austin, Dallas, Houston)
• Kieran Geffert (San Diego, Riverside, San Francisco, Seattle, Sacramento
• Micah Goldberg (Denver, Portland, Las Vegas, Phoenix)
• Pete Kowalski (Detroit, Minneapolis, Madison, Milwaukee, Cleveland)
• Roxanne Marati (Kansas City, St. Louis, Wichita)
• Brian Rooney (New York, Boston, Hartford, Springfield)
• Dave Scopinich (Philadelphia; Washington, DC; Baltimore; Wilkes-Barre)
• Michael Spacciapolli (Norfolk, Richmond, Pittsburgh, Buffalo, Rochester)

The Regional VPs report to their respective Regional Presidents: Kowalski to Debbie Kenyon; Marati, Baron and Bewley to Claudia Menegus; Geffert and Goldberg to Jeff Federman; and Scopinich, Spacciapolli and Frazier to Mark Hannon. Rooney reports to Hannon for all of his markets except New York, where he reports to Chris Oliviero.
