While the past year disrupted radio as we knew it as well as experiencing the recent passing of programming legend BILL TANNER,\u00a0we recognize the incredible opportunities before us for those who can deliver fresh ideas to the industry.”<\/p>\n CHASE commented, “We have assembled a team with both incredible experience and a tremendous hunger to capitalize on the disruption in the media space and arrive first into the next normal. With this leadership team in place, I believe we will deliver highly engaging products for our consumers and set up every member of the SUMMITMEDIA team to perform at their full potential.”<\/p>\n Randy Chase<\/p>\n
