John Gallagher

Longtime radio executive John Gallagher is out after two years as vice president and market manager of Hubbard Radio Chicago, where he oversaw hot adult-contemporary WTMX 101.9 FM, Classic Hits WDRV 97.1 FM  and AC WSHE 100.3 FM, according to Chicago Media Writer Robert Feder.

Until a replacement is named, Dave Bestler, executive vice president and chief financial officer of Hubbard Radio, will served as acting market manager, according to Horowitz.

Drew Horowitz, president and chief operating officer of Hubbard Radio, cited performance issues for the move Monday. “We were not hitting the metrics that we needed to hit both in ratings and revenue,” Horowitz said. “We wish John only the best in his future endeavors.”
