With the naming of Neuhoff Media President/CEO Mike Hulvey as Erica Farber’s successor at the Radio Advertising Bureau, questions were immediately being sent to RBR+TVBR by readers asking if Hulvey will be exiting the radio broadcasting company founded by Beth Neuhoff.
The answer is yes.
Hulvey will be departing from the company in the spring, Neuhoff Media has confirmed.
So, what does this mean for the company?
Former Journal and Scripps broadcast executive and current Leadership Coach at Good Karma Brands, Steve Wexler, will serve as Interim CEO and will begin working with the Neuhoff team in January.
“It has been a tremendous honor to work with the Neuhoff family and our team of professionals for all these years,” said Hulvey. “I can’t thank them enough for what we’ve done together. In so many ways, we’ve been able to make a real difference for our listeners, clients, and communities. What a blessing and a privilege it has been.”
Julian Hickman and Makena Neuhoff, the Trustees for the Neuhoff family, said, “We thank Mike for his many contributions during his more than 30 years as part of Neuhoff Media. Under his leadership, Mike has advanced the family mission of great local radio. We wish Mike all the best in his new role at the RAB and are thrilled to welcome Steve Wexler as Interim CEO.”
Wexler commented, “I am thrilled for Mike and am honored to serve as interim CEO for this legendary company and look forward to working with the talented, committed team at Neuhoff during this transition.”
Neuhoff Media owns and operates 24 licensed radio stations in six communities across Illinois and Indiana. Neuhoff also operates a digital services business along with the daily publication of local content on owned and operated websites and social media channels.
