West Side Story: Curb Dir./Southwest Promotions Brooke Meris has been named Warner/WEA Regional Mgr. covering the West. She officially joins team members Ray Mariner (South; CAT 4/12) and Diane Monk (North) Monday (5/2) and reports to National Dir./Radio Stephanie Hagerty. “Brooke is highly respected by everyone in the industry, from radio to artists and managers,” says VP/Radio Anna Cage. Adds Meris, "I have always admired the team dynamic at WMN, so I’m really excited to now be a part of it and work with everyone … including the amazing roster of artists!" Meris completes the WEA radio team following the label group's recent restructure of radio promotion efforts (CAT 2/15).
