Normally a company recognizes an employee’s birthday by providing cake in the office, an internal acknowledgement via email or by posting the announcement somewhere inside of the building. This year though, Entercom has made it extra special for Len Weiner.
The 790 The Ticket PD has been handed the keys to WQAM, filling the vacant seat left open due to the departure of Ryan Maguire to KIRO-FM in Seattle. Weiner will now oversee programming for Miami’s top two sports radio brands.
“Len’s leadership ability and knowledge of sports radio make him the perfect candidate to take on our two major sport stations in Miami,” said SVP/Market Manager Keriann Worley. “Adding the 560 WQAM PD responsibilities to Len’s current role is a natural fit. I’m confident both stations will continue as the top choice for Miami’s sports fans with Len on board.”
“I’m very excited to be able to work at Miami’s two premier sports radio stations. There is great talent on both teams, and to be part of a heritage station like WQAM and to continue to work on a successful station like The Ticket, is an amazing opportunity,” said Weiner. “Thank you to Keriann Worley, Doug Abernethy, Chris Oliviero, Pat Paxton, Weezie Kramer and David Field for this incredible opportunity.”
