The individual who has just been named to the newly created position of Director of Sales at ABC affiliate WMUR-9 in Manchester, N.H., won't have much to learn about the local market or the station's outsized role in the state's Republican Presidential primaries.

An Indianapolis market veteran who started his career in radio as PD of WFMS-FM 95.5 for former owner Susquehanna Radio Corp. has just been given the keys for Emmis Communications' flagship station group.

This individual will transition from her current role in sales oversight for the five Neuhoff markets to her new VP/Market Manager position. She will also continue to serve as Corporate Vice President/Special Projects for the company.

Entercom has followed the lead of CBS Radio by making major announcements via staff memos that eventually make it into the hands of the radio industry trade press. As first reported by Streamline Publishing's co-owned Radio INK, Entercom Market Managers will be adding the SVP title. For industry veterans, the big news involves the naming of a well-known former executive as SVP/Market Manager of Entercom's properties in the nation's No. 3 market.
