In his new role, Langmyer will oversee the programming of Journal Broadcast Group’s flagship WTMJ-AM.  He will also work closely with Journal Vice President of Programming Beverlee Brannigan on the company’s news and talk stations across the company.

“I am thrilled to welcome Tom to the Journal family,” Wexler said. “He is a trusted leader with a well-known track record of success. He understands the importance of heritage stations like WTMJ. I’ve known Tom for years and am happy to finally be able to call him a fellow employee.”

“I’ve admired Journal Broadcast Group for many years as a leader in local content, and for their service to their communities. WTMJ is Wisconsin’s iconic news talk station with great personalities and dependable news, and it’s also revered as the home of the Packers, Brewers, Badgers and Bucks,” Langmyer said.  “I’m honored and excited to join Steve, Beverlee and the Journal Broadcast team in serving listeners in a variety of markets.”

Langmyer assumes his new role on August 12.
