On Monday, RBR+TVBR shared the news that Salem Media President of Broadcast Media Allen Power intends to retire from the broadcast group known for its Christian-themed and secular conservative talk programming, transitioning to the role of Senior Advisor.
The company has now followed up that announcement with details of who his successor will be.
Effective October 1, Linnae Young will assume the role of President of Broadcast Media while continuing to serve as Salem’s Chief Revenue Officer.
In her expanded role, Young will oversee Salem’s broadcast operations while continuing to lead the company’s revenue strategy.
Young is a 30 1/2 year veteran of Salem.
Concurrently, Jeff Reisman will be promoted to Executive Vice President of Operations, where he will oversee operational leadership across Salem’s local broadcast markets nationwide.
During his 22-year career with Salem, Reisman has held a variety of leadership positions, including General Sales Manager, Director of Sales, General Manager of Salem’s Chicago market, Regional Vice President, and Senior Vice President.
Furthermore, SVP Mark Durkin and Regional VPs Jeff Mitchell and Chad Gammage will also assume expanded responsibilities supporting Salem.
These appointments “continue Salem’s tradition of developing leaders from within,” the company said on Tuesday.
