“When the opportunity to lead the heritage brands Dave Popovich built into 2023 and beyond opened up, it was something that quickly became a no brainer,” said Daniels. “I can’t wait to get started working with the amazing team in Cleveland. I want to thank Dave Richards, Tom Herschel, Steve Salhany and Jeff Sottolano for going out of their way to make this a seamless transition for me and my family. I also want to thank Andrea Hansen and the entire Madison team for their support and encouragement.”

Daniels joined Audacy in 2013 as Program Director for-then Indianapolis sister station WNTR-FM before being promoted to Operations Manager of Audacy Madison’s 94.9 WOLX, 105.5 Triple M and Mix 105.1. Previous programming roles include now-Audacy station Star 94 (WSTR-FM) in Atlanta and 95.1 WAPE in Jacksonville.
