SF Radio: Cumulus Media Appoints Two


Cumulus Media has announced two key appointments for its San Francisco cluster of stations. Steve Sklenar will join Cumulus as Market Manager and Kevin Crespo will join as National/Regional Sales Manager.

Sklenar will oversee station operations for Cumulus stations in the San Francisco market: KFOG Radio, KFFG 97.7, 107.7 The Bone, KNBR The Sports Leader, KTCT The Ticket 1050, Hot Talk KSFO 560 and KGO Newstalk 810.

A seasoned radio broadcasting professional, Sklenar most recently served as Assistant Vice President and Director of Sales at Lincoln Financial Radio in San Diego.

Crespo will help to develop national and regional advertising sales for the cluster. Crespo is a radio sales veteran who most recently served as National Sales Manager at Lincoln Financial Radio. Prior to that, Crepo served as General Sales Manager for Finest City Brodcasting in San Diego. Earlier in his career, Crespo held sales management positions in Washington, D.C. for Colfax and CBS.

“To be tapped as the leader of Cumulus San Francisco is both exciting and humbling. This is without question one of the most coveted positions in all of broadcasting, not just radio. The history and prestige of these stations in the San Francisco community comes with great responsibility. We will not take that lightly,” Sklenar said.

“The opportunity to return to San Francisco and represent Cumulus Media’s prestigious call letters and dynamic cluster is a dream come true,” said Crespo. “In addition, I will be able to continue to work with Steve Sklenar, one of the best leaders and most respected mangers in the radio industry.”

“Steve and Kevin are well-suited to take leadership and sales development roles at this legendary cluster of stations. They will round out a solid team that’s contributing significantly to our growth in San Francisco. After meeting with numerous qualified candidates, John Dickey and I are confident that these two gentlemen will have immediate positive impact on our business moving forward,” said Jon Pinch, Executive Vice President and co-COO of Cumulus.
