Michael Czarnecki

Entercom/Boston has announced that Michael Czarnecki has been elevated to Program Director of WRKO 680 AM in Boston. He assumes the role after spending the last 15 months as assistant program director and operations manager of the heritage news and talk station.

Previously he was assistant program director at iHeart Media's WHYN-FM and WRNX-FM in Springfield, MA. He's also held on-air and programming positions in Boston, Hartford, Medford, OR and Manchester, NH.

"I'm absolutely thrilled," said Czarnecki. "It's been an honor and a privilege to be a part of revitalizing the heritage brand that is WRKO, and this is just the beginning. Special thank you to Phil Zachary, and to Entercom, for having faith in me, and giving me the guidance and tools needed to get here."

Entercom Boston VP/Market Manager Phil Zachary said the timing isn't coincidental noting, "Michael tweaked the station's line-up and groomed our entire air staff to be at peak performance for this election cycle. We're now reaping the benefits of his coaching and vision as new cume flocks to WRKO every day. This promotion is well deserved and overdue."
