Townsquare Media has announced the promotion of Sam Gagliardi to Vice President of Content for its two New Jersey markets.
Gagliardi will now oversee both the Monmouth-Ocean and Trenton-Princeton clusters which includes New Jersey 101.5.
He previously served as Director of Content for the Monmouth-Ocean market.
“In his short time with the company, Sam has proven to be an effective leader who quickly
improved performance and culture at the Jersey Shore,” Regional Vice President Brian Lang said. “We expect Sam will have a similar impact in Trenton-Princeton.”
At the company’s Trenton-Princeton cluster, Gagliardi steps into the shoes vacated by the departure of Anne Gress, who programmed New Jersey 101.5 from January 2018 to earlier this month when she departed as part of a cost-cutting measure.
“I sincerely thank the leadership at Townsquare — Bill Wilson, Erik Hellum, Jared Willig, and
Brian Lang — for this incredible opportunity,” Gagliardi, who goes by the name Sam Elliot on air, said. “Collaborating with the skilled professionals at the iconic brands of New Jersey 101.5 and PST presents an amazing opportunity. I am excited about working with such a highly talented group and look forward to engaging in collaborative efforts with the fantastic on-air and online creators at the Jersey Shore.”
