As Connoisseur Media completes its acquisition of Alpha Media, it is building out its executive team. That includes naming Keith Dakin its new Senior Vice President of Programming.
Dakin is no stranger to Connoisseur. He’s been with the company since 2013 and has been instrumental in helping shape the sound of the company’s pre-existing stations.
“It is truly an honor to move into this larger role with the newly expanded Connoisseur Media,” said Dakin. “I am extremely excited to work day-to-day with this unbelievable roster of programmers and air talent. I can’t wait to dig in and make great radio with this tremendously creative staff. Thank you so much to Jeff Warshaw, who has been a true champion of mine since I started here. His leadership, vision, and commitment to real radio will hopefully give this industry the shot in the arm it needs.”
In his new role, Dakin will work with all of the company’s new formats and stations as it now holds more than 200 stations in 47 markets after completing the acquisition of Alpha Media.
“Keith’s programming expertise and leadership have been a major contributor to Connoisseur’s growth and success,” said Connoisseur Media CEO Jeff Warshaw. “As we expand our footprint, Keith is the ideal leader to develop and implement our programming strategy across the country. His passion for music, content, and his commitment to local communities will ensure that our stations continue to succeed.”
Dakin will report to Warshaw in his new role as Senior Vice President of Programming.
