Ryan Hatch is moving up, but not moving out of Phoenix. He has been promoted to Senior VP and Market Manager of Bonneville International’s cluster in the desert, which includes KTAR and Arizona Sports 98.7.
“I’m humbled, honored and thrilled for the opportunity to lead the most talented team in local media in a city that my family loves and calls home,” Hatch said in a press release. “I look forward to continuing to serve our dynamic and growing community, our advertisers, team broadcast partners and the audiences of KTAR News, Arizona Sports and ESPN Phoenix.”
The job was available following the promotion of Scott Sutherland. He was upped from the Phoenix Market Manager to a position that oversees the Denver, Phoenix, Sacramento, San Francisco and Seattle markets.
Rya Hatch has been in Phoenix since 2006. He has been the VP of Programming overseeing both stations as well as ESPN Phoenix on 620 AM. He oversaw the launch of Sports 620 KTAR, which eventually moved to the FM dial and morphed into Arizona Sports 98.7.
“I am incredibly proud and excited to see Ryan in his new role as SVP/Market Manager,” said Sutherland. “I have no doubt that under his leadership Bonneville Phoenix will soar to new heights.”
