Premiere Networks has upped SVP of Sports Don Martin to SVP of Sports Programming, adding responsibility for Premiere and Fox Sports Radio to his responsibilities overseeing KLAC-A/Los Angeles. Martin’s new duties coincide with the exit of Bruce Gilbert, who is leaving for Cumulus and Westwood One. Martin will report to Premiere President Julie Talbott and, for KLAC, will continue to report to iHeartMedia Southern California President Greg Ashlock.
Martin, who served as VP/GM of Fox Sports Network in 2009-12 and as SVP Sports Programming in 2012-13, said, “When Julie Talbott and Darren Davis call, everybody listens! I’m thrilled to team up with Julie, Darren and the Premiere team once again. I’m also looking forward to reuniting with the incredible Fox Sports Radio family.”
