Salem Media has announced expanded leadership roles for Linnae Young and Jeff Reisman as part of a broader leadership transition at the company.
Effective Oct. 1, Young will become president of broadcast media while continuing to serve as chief revenue officer. In her expanded role, she will oversee Salem’s broadcast operations alongside its revenue strategy. Young has worked with Salem for more than 30 years in sales, revenue development and broadcast operations.
David Santrella, chief executive officer of Salem Media, said Young has played a significant role in the company’s development. “Linnae has earned the respect of people across this company and throughout our industry,” Santrella said. “She knows our business inside and out and has been a driving force behind Salem’s success for more than three decades.”
Also, effective Oct. 1, Reisman will become executive vice president of operations, overseeing operational leadership across Salem’s local broadcast markets nationwide. He has spent 22 years with the company in roles including general sales manager, director of sales, general manager of Salem’s Chicago market, regional vice president and senior vice president.
“Jeff is a trusted leader in our company and has spent more than two decades serving Salem with excellence,” said Santrella. “He understands what makes our local markets successful and has spent years building strong teams and helping people grow. I am confident he will continue to strengthen our broadcast operations and help keep Salem moving forward.”
The company also announced that Mark Durkin, senior vice president, Jeff Mitchell, regional vice president, and Chad Gammage, regional vice president, will take on expanded responsibilities. The changes follow the previously announced retirement plans of Allen Power.
