Audacy has announced that Charlie O Mallonee will be elevated to assistant brand manager of ESPN 1320 in Sacramento. As a result, he will be responsible for the station’s branding, content strategy and operations among other responsibilities.
“Charlie O’s experience as a producer and deep understanding of our station’s content has been instrumental in KIFM’s success,” Stacey Kauffman, regional president of Audacy in Sacramento, said in a statement. “With this new role, Charlie O will continue to elevate our content strategy, support our talented team, streamline operations and reinforce our distinctive branding. We are confident that his passion and dedication will help take ESPN 1320 to the next level.”
O Mallonee previously served as a producer at the station from the time he joined the broadcast outlet in March 2019. He entered the role with experience as a reporter and podcast host for Sports Radio Service in San Francisco, an outlet where he was a beat reporter for the Oakland Athletics. Throughout his broadcast career, he has performed play-by-play duties for the San Jose Bees, San Jose Lasers and San Jose State Spartans.
“I am really proud to have been a part of the ESPN 1320/Audacy Sacramento team for the past four years,” Mallonee said. “I want to thank Stacey Kauffman and Aaron Roberts for giving me the opportunity to take on these added responsibilities during this exciting time of growth in the world of audio. Together with ‘D-Lo & KC,’ Jesse Tapia and James Ham, we are proving every day that ESPN 1320 in Sacramento’s sports leader!”
Jeff Austin, the program director and brand manager of ESPN 1320 works out of Portland, OR, where he holds the same position at 1080 The Fan. O Mallonee being on the ground in Sacramento will be a tremendous asset for daily operation of the station.
