Pittsburgh Radio: Entercom Boots Michael Young

Michael Young

Entercom has confirmed that Michael Young, former senior vice president and market manager for Pittsburgh’s four CBS Local radio entities, is no longer with the company. It would not comment further, according to The Post-Gazette.

Young oversaw flagship station N/T KDKA as well as Sports 93.7 The Fan, Country Y108 (WDSY) and Top40 100.7 Star (WBZZ). In more recent months, Entercom had become the guiding presence in the Pittsburgh market.

“It was an honor and a privilege to work and serve with such a talented staff at these stations, and I thank Entercom and CBS Radio for that opportunity,” Mr. Young said.

Philadelphia-based Entercom Communications Corp. merged with CBS Radio in a tax-free merger last year, and eventually all properties will operate under the Entecom banner. Adding and subtracting stations in various markets, Entercom is in the process of becoming the country’s second-largest radio presence.

Michael Spacciapolli is serving as interim senior vice president and market manager while a nationwide search is conducted.
