Episode 17: Jeff Sottolano

This month we are joined by Jeff Sottolano, Executive Vice President of Programming at Audacy, Inc., formerly Entercom/CBS. Originally attending college as an electrical and computer major, Jeff could have never imagined that a summer internship at WZNE in Rochester, New York would turn into his illustrious present-day 20-year broadcasting career.   Take a listen as Jeff leads us down his trek in radio and the ‘horror movie’ that has been the pandemic.  Jeff shares his everyday challenges as an executive balancing fatherhood, and also shares his advice for upcoming broadcasting hopefuls.  In addition, Jeff astutely shines a bright light on the rebranding, growth, and future of Audacy, Inc.    Jeff provides a bird’s eye view of the current state of media and credits his career to “Going where opportunity is” as a major key point to continuously propelling it.
