Pump The Blakes: Former Columbia Northeast Cliff Blake's retirement (CAT 11/7) is short-lived as he's joined Good Company Entertainment for regional promotion. Good Company recently partnered with Barry Weiss' Records for the launch of artist Matt Stell. Blake has spent 47 years in radio and the music business, with stops including Warner Bros, Republic Nashville, WZZK/Birmingham and WMZQ/Washington.

"I have known Cliff Blake for my entire career," says Good Company Managing Partner Keith Gale. "I called on him when he was a PD in radio, and then watched him transition to the record business as one of the top promotion execs in our industry. We are lucky, and Matt Stell is lucky, to have Cliff joining us." Reach Blake here.
