Jane Heir:
Former Black River Dir./Northeast Promotion Jane O'Malia Staszak has joined Big Machine as Dir./Midwest Promotion & Marketing, replacing the exiting JC Coffey. She will remain based in Pittsburgh. “Jane is an unparalleled talent and has shown that at every level of the radio and record business she has been in,” says GM Clay Hunnicutt. Adds Staszak, “The promotion team is top notch, and I know that it’s an environment I will thrive in and excel.” Coffey joined the label in 2019 (CAT 3/13/19) after time with Community/Elmira, NY; WOKQ/Portsmouth NH; WTHT & WPKQ/Portland, ME; and WMLL/Manchester, NH. He is looking for his next opportunity and can be reached at 269-806-6865 and here. Staszak left Black River in May (CAT 5/5) after almost nine years. Previous stops include Nine North and an 11-year stint as WDSY/Pittsburgh Dir./Promotions. Reach her here.
