Robby Bridges has been named the new Program Director of country 103.1 The Wolf on Long Island.
Bridges joins the station after recently completing a four-year run working as the Vice President of Programming at Press Communications, which included leading 107.1 The Boss in New Jersey.
The move marks a return to the country format for Robby Bridges, who has worked in both leadership and on-air roles during his career.
“I’m absolutely thrilled to join the team at Connoisseur Media during this exciting time!” said Bridges. “I’m looking forward to working with Patrick Shea on Long Island to grow 103.1 The Wolf/WWWF into one of the biggest country stations in America and also to return to guide the iconic WEBE 108 in Connecticut. I’m beyond grateful for the opportunity, big thank you’s to Kristin Okesson, Keith Dakin and Jeff Warshaw for their belief in me. Let’s go!”
In addition to his work at 103.1 The Wolf, where he’ll also serve as the station’s midday personality, Bridges has also been named as the Program Director of WEBE 108, the Connoisseur Media Adult Contemporary station in the market.
“The best part of my job is giving talented, passionate people opportunities to grow,” said Connoisseur Media Long Island and Connecticut Senior Vice President and Market Manager Kristin Okesson. “Robby’s expertise in country and AC radio will be highly beneficial for us at WWWF and WEBE 108,” Okesson continued. “These are some of the hardest-working people in radio, and our team continues to grow stronger in Connecticut and on Long Island.”
