Galaxy Media Partners announced a major leadership shakeup today, one day after Hall of Fame broadcaster Rick Gary exited classic hits station Sunny 102 (WZUN).
The nyradio.com website was first to report the Syracuse-based company named Nick Maine as its new Chief Operating Officer, replacing Carrie Wojtaszek. Maine, a veteran since 2011 who most recently served as Chief Revenue Officer, will now oversee all company operations, drive alignment across departments, and support continued growth.
Alex Conn, a 14-year Galaxy veteran and former brand manager, steps up to Chief Content Officer (replacing Marissa Greenlar, who left to focus on her own venture). Conn will lead content strategy and creative direction for the company's 13 radio stations, building on his track record in audience engagement and innovative brand leadership.
- Jennifer Wells (25-year veteran) from Business Manager to Controller, continuing to lead accounting, financial reporting, and fiscal strategy.
- Tami Grashof (16 years) to Regional Sales Manager, recognized for revenue growth, client relationships, and team mentoring.
- Brittany Capparelli from Event Marketing Specialist to Director of Client Experience, focusing on stronger client partnerships and enhanced event execution.
Galaxy founder and CEO Ed Levine called the changes "a pivotal moment," praising the team's leadership, creativity, and drive for the company's next chapter.
Galaxy owns 13 stations, including Syracuse's TK99/TK105 (classic rock), Sunny 102 (adult contemporary), ESPN Radio Syracuse, and K-ROCK, plus a Utica-Rome cluster featuring another K-ROCK, Mix 102.5, Tony 99.1, and ESPN Radio Utica-Rome.
