Entercom has announced that Sean Shannon, current Director of Sales for Entercom Seattle, has been promoted to become the new VP/Market Manager for Entercom Sacramento. He will take over next week for John Geary who retired after a 45-year career in radio.

Shannon, a 24-year radio veteran, has been with Entercom since 2009, and prior to that he had 8-year stints with both Clear Channel and Fisher Broadcasting. He currently teaches a marketing course at the University of Washington's Professional and Continuing Education Department, and he obtained his MBA from the Foster School at the University of Washington in 2009.

"Our brands are unique, our ratings are formidable and we are a market leader in revenue. Entercom is in a strong position in Sacramento; my goal is to make us even stronger," said Shannon. "I can't wait to start working with this incredibly gifted team."

"I am very excited for Sacramento and for Entercom to be able to promote from within and reward the solid results Sean has produced in Seattle these last four years," said Entercom Regional President Deborah Kane. "Sean is a dynamic individual. His passion for the business, intelligence and authenticity are great fits for leading these incredible brands to the next level."
