WBEN in Buffalo has announced Lisa Polizzi is joining the station to serve as its next Brand Manager.
Polizzi joins the station after spending decades in the market, mostly working in local television. She has previously had stints at WKBW and WIVB in Buffalo working as an Executive Producer, Assistant News Director, and News Director during her tenure.
“I’m thrilled to join Buffalo’s legacy news/talk brand to help shape news and programming with innovation, integrity, and enthusiasm,” said Polizzi.
Polizzi is familiar with the Audacy cluster in Buffalo. She previously worked as a weekend news anchor for WBEN in 2002 and also spent time on sports station 550 WGR.
She will take the position vacated by the promotion of Tim Wenger, who was named Senior Vice President and Market Manager of Audacy Buffalo in July.
“Lisa’s extraordinary background in leading award-winning content generation in local television news will be invaluable for WBEN as it continues to evolve as the radio station that’s always there when the community needs it the most,” said Wenger. “I look forward to Lisa taking an already stellar brand to new heights.”
