“It gives me great pleasure to announce the promotion of Tim Wenger to Senior Vice President and Market Manager of Audacy Buffalo,” said Mark Hannon, Regional President, Audacy. “Tim has been a leading presence in our building for nearly 40 years, and it seems only fitting that he now takes over the reins of the market. He has intimate knowledge of our local brands, and I can think of no one better to pick up the mantle from Tim Holly and lead us into the future.”
“As a lifelong Buffalonian, it's surreal to be assuming the leadership role for Audacy Buffalo's group of stations,” said Wenger. “The unique content and personalities on the brands, combined with strong client and sports play-by-play partnerships, positions Audacy for growth and success in Buffalo.”
