Entercom 100.3 The Sound KSWD Los Angeles Peter Burton Doug Abernethy Miami San Diego AtlantaEntercom has quickly followed up on the settlement of the Lincoln Financial Media deal and swap with Bonneville with announcements of who will lead their newly acquired clusters.

Doug Abernethy, who exited Radio-One Houston in March for an undisclosed position with Entercom, has disclosed he will lead the new Miami cluster of AC “101.5 Lite-FM” WLYF, Classic Hits “Magic 102.7” WMXJ, and Sports “104.3 The Ticket” 790 WAXY/104.3 WAXY-FM. Abernethy had been VP/GM of Radio-One Houston since 2004 and also was Regional VP overseeing the company’s Dallas and St. Louis stations.

Mike Fowler, most recently VP/Sales of “ESPN 1000” WMVP Chicago will head to Atlanta to lead Hot AC “Star 94.1” WSTR and format-to-be-determined 790 WQXI.

Peter Burton has been VP/GM of Classic Rock “100.3 The Sound” KSWD Los Angeles since Bonneville acquired and launched the station in 2008. He will remain in that role with Entercom.

After exiting as SVP/Market Manager of CBS Radio San Diego last week, Bob Bollinger will cross the street to take on the lead position at the Entercom cluster of Alternative “FM 94.9” KBZT, Country 97.3 KSON/92.1 KSOQ, and Soft AC “Easy 98.1” KIFM.

Commenting on the announcements, Weezie Kramer, Entercom’s Chief Operating Officer, noted “Lincoln Financial Media, Bonneville and their teams have built world-class brands, and we are excited about the opportunities to continue to grow these stations and to provide our listeners and customers with the best compelling local content and dynamic, integrated marketing solutions.” Kramer added “I am excited to welcome Doug, Bob, Mike and Peter to Entercom. They are great leaders and managers with a proven track record of success. As we enter these vibrant new markets, we are thrilled to have such talented and experienced media veterans at the helm.”

In Denver where Entercom will be adding three new stations to its lineup as a result of the acquisition, Entercom announced that Amy Griesheimer will continue to lead Entercom Denver in her role as Vice President/General Manager. Kramer commented, “Amy has been a tremendous leader for Entercom Denver and we know her experience, leadership and vision will continue to drive ratings, revenue and audience engagement for our stations in Denver.”

A second-generation broadcaster, Abernethy has been recognized for his industry efforts by receiving the Radios Best Mangers award in 2006, 2007, and 2008 and Radio Wayne Best Market Manager award in 2009. In 2010, he was awarded the Urban Knight award for his efforts in promoting and marketing African-American consumers to the nation’s largest advertisers.
