Ryan Porth is the new program director at 670 The Score in Chicago, and he wants listeners to breathe easy knowing that there is no imminent change coming to the talent lineup at the station.
Porth has been at the Audacy station since January of 2022. He was brought on as assistant brand manager. Before that, Porth went from producer to program director in the blink of an eye at 102.5 The Game in Nashville. He spent almost 10 years at the Cromwell Media station.
Porth succeeds Mitch Rosen, who was promoted to vice president and brand manager.
“We’re lucky to have a programming staff that’s so talented and seasoned with Chicago sports. I’m still going to be leaning on them,” Porth told the Chicago Sun-Times. “When I see opportunities to weave in ideas, I will. But I don’t see ideation as a weakness at all with this team.”
Porth added that he learned a lot under Cromwell Media president Bud Walters while in Nashville, especially how local content will drive everything.
“He always harped on that, and I’ve grown to appreciate as the years have gone on that local always wins,” he said. “When I was first becoming PD, I may not have appreciated that as much as I do now. The more local content you can have, the better off you’re going to be.”
