L-A Radio: ND Alex SilvermanTo Exit Audacy's KNX

Alex Silverman, the Director of News and Programming at KNX News in Los Angeles, is set to leave his position at Audacy in the coming weeks to pursue new opportunities. 

Silverman announced his departure via LinkedIn, expressing gratitude for his time at KNX and the team he worked with, while noting that he doesn’t yet know what his next step will be. He plans to remain with the station until April 2025 to ensure a smooth transition for the staff and operations.

Silverman joined KNX in 2022, relocating from Philadelphia where he had served as Brand Manager at KYW Newsradio since 2018. 

During his tenure at KNX, he played a pivotal role in leading the station’s news coverage, most notably during the Los Angeles wildfires in January 2025. His leadership earned the station industry recognition for delivering real-time updates and critical information that helped keep Southern California residents informed and safe. Silverman himself contributed directly to the coverage, reporting from the fire lines while managing his team under challenging circumstances.

His exit coincides with a turbulent period for Audacy, which recently implemented widespread layoffs following its emergence from bankruptcy. This included the departure of veteran KNX news anchor Charles Feldman on the same day Silverman’s resignation was announced, March 6, 2025. Silverman’s decision to leave was described as difficult, given his pride in the team’s accomplishments, but he emphasized his intent to explore new possibilities moving forward.

Before his time at Audacy, Silverman had a background as a reporter, which he drew upon during crises like the wildfires. His departure marks the end of a significant chapter for KNX News, where he also oversaw the station’s move to a new studio on L.A.’s Miracle Mile in December 2024, integrating it with other Audacy stations for better collaboration. As of now, no specific plans for his next venture have been disclosed, leaving open the question of where his extensive experience in news and programming will take him next.
