Audacy Taps Veteran Executive Debbie Kenyon As Regional President.

Audacy has elevated Debbie Kenyon to Regional President for its Central U.S. markets, expanding the longtime Detroit market manager’s leadership across a wide portfolio of stations in the Midwest.

Kenyon, who currently serves as Senior Vice President and Market Manager for Audacy Detroit, will now oversee major brands including “104.3 and 670 The Score” WSCR-AM/FM in Chicago, classic rock WNCX (98.5) in Cleveland, classic hits WOLX (94.9) in Madison, hot AC “99.1 The Mix” WMYX in Milwaukee and news/talk WCCO (830) in Minneapolis.

Her promotion follows more than 25 years leading Audacy’s Detroit operations, where she has been recognized for her strategic leadership, strong connection to the local market and commitment to community engagement.

Audacy President and CEO Kelli Turner said Kenyon’s track record made her a clear choice for the expanded role. “Debbie Kenyon has been a pillar of our business for over a quarter century, and her elevation to Regional President for our Central region is a testament to her ability to drive innovation and deliver consistent performance,” Turner said.

In her new role, Kenyon joins a senior leadership group that includes Regional Presidents Jeff Federman, Mark Hannon and Claudia Menegus, alongside Chief Business Officer Chris Oliviero, as Audacy continues to align leadership across its key markets.

Kenyon said the opportunity reflects her long-standing commitment to local radio. “Having spent my career deeply rooted in local radio, it’s an incredible honor to step into this role and support so many talented teams across the Central region,” she said. “These markets are home to powerful brands with strong community connections, and I’m excited to build on that momentum.”

Kenyon’s career spans nearly three decades across Entercom and CBS Radio, where she advanced from sales leadership roles to market management. She has received multiple industry honors, including recognition from Most Influential Women in Radio (MIW), as well as accolades from Crain’s Detroit Business.
