Jason Barrett is reporting that an internal note was sent to the ESPN staff announcing the retirement of ESPN Senior VP Traug Keller. Keller has made Radio Ink’s Most Powerful People in Radio list since 12 times, including the last 9 years in a row. He’s expected to help with a transition before leaving next month.
Keller has had direct oversight of all aspects of ESPN Audio’s business including talent, staffing, national programming content, scheduling, and event production.
Also retiring is VP of national radio programming and production Marcia Keegan.
Barrett is reporting that to fill the roles ESPN will turn to VP of Production Dave Roberts and Coordinating Producer Amanda Gifford. Roberts, at one time, was GM for ESPN Radio in New York.
