Chris Michaels rises from Operations Manager of the company’s Memphis cluster to Regional Brand Manager, where he will support the execution of programming, music and branding for the aforementioned stations. He will continue to retain his position in Memphis.
107.9 KMLE Phoenix Brand Manager Drew Bland will add similar duties for “100.7 The Wolf” KKWF Seattle. Bland previously programmed KKWF from 2017 to 2020. He rejoined the company to lead KMLE last year.

Both moves are effective immediately.
“Adding Mark Anderson and Chris Michaels to our country leadership team will help better execute our local brand strategies, give those markets more individualized attention and create more synergy within our country team,” said Tim Roberts, Country Format Vice President, Audacy. “We’re proud to elevate two hard working individuals and watching them take this next step within our organization.”
“Audacy has the best country brands and the best country fans,” said Anderson. “I cannot wait to serve both in this new role! I’m grateful to Jeff Sottolano and Tim Roberts for this opportunity and to Kevin Callahan and John Foxx for welcoming me to the team.”
