Longtime ESPN Radio programming executive Scott Masteller has exited the network, where he’s had a nearly 14 year run.
Most recently ESPN Radio’s Senior Director Radio Content, Masteller spent the first five years of his ESPN career in Dallas, where he oversaw the launch of the company’s 103.3 ESPN (KESN) before heading to the network’s Bristol, CT headquarters, where he’s served in several different senior management roles for the past 8+ years.
His lengthy Sports radio programming resume also includes prior stints in Portland, OR, Salt Lake City and Lexington, KY. Masteller told NTS MediaOnline Today that he is leaving ESPN “on very good terms” and added, “It is a great company and I’ve had a great run there. I’m now looking to see what comes next and I’m excited about the opportunities ahead of me.”
