Matt Cahill has been elevated to brand manager of The Team 980 in Washington, D.C., granting him oversight over content strategy, talent, operations and branding at the sports radio station. This role complements his responsibilities as assistant brand manager of 106.7 The Fan and executive producer of The Sports Junkies morning show.
“Matt’s creativity, love for sports and commitment to evolving the brand makes me confident that he will be a great Brand Manager for The Team,” Ivy Savoy-Smith, senior vice president and market manager of Audacy Washington D.C., said in a statement. “Those that have worked with Matt know his dedication to creating a positive working environment and we’re excited to see how he leads the internal team while increasing external traffic for the station.”
Cahill had also served as the assistant brand manager of the Team 980 since 2021, but he will now be in this new capacity at the outlet. Moreover, he has served in the assistant brand manager role at 106.7 The Fan since 2019. Cahill has been the executive producer for the morning show since 2012, five years after he joined WJFK-FM as a producer in 2007. A graduate of Arizona State University, he began his media career with CBS Radio in 2006 and was also the executive producer of The Big O and Dukes Show.
“I’m absolutely thrilled to lead Team 980 into the future with our outstanding group,” Cahill said in a statement. “The Team has a storied history and to be given this opportunity is humbling. I’m very thankful for the guidance and trust that Chris Kinard and Ivy Savoy-Smith have given me. We have great on-air talent talking about issues that matter to D.C. sports fans, and the potential for The Team 980 brand is unlimited.”
