Audacy has promoted Drew Bland to the position of Regional Vice President of Country. In addition to his current roles as Brand Manager of 100.7 The Wolf (KKWF) in Seattle and KMLE Country 107.9 in Phoenix, Bland will now also have regional oversight of 93.1 The Wolf (WPAW) in Greensboro, NC. His appointment to oversee WPAW comes with Clay Walker’s promotion to Vice President of Content Operations for Audacy.
Bland brings nearly 20 years of experience in leading radio brands and teams. After serving as Vice President of Promotion for Sony’s Monument Records in 2021, Bland returned to Audacy and reclaimed the Brand Manager position at KMLE. In 2022, he also took on management of KKWF in Seattle for the second time.
“Drew has continued to demonstrate exceptional ability to program and lead country brands in competitive markets and is a leading strategic and creative thinker in our industry with a history of winning brands,” said Audacy Country Format Vice President Tim Roberts. “We look forward to having him step into this new role to continue sound programming for these iconic brands.”
“I am thrilled Drew is joining us in Greensboro,” said Audacy Greensboro Market Manager Lisa Powell. “He has a proven track record and is a formidable competitor in the audio landscape. Drew will take 93.1 The Wolf to new heights, building on the strong foundation and success that Clay Walker delivered for our fans and client partners.”
