Audacy appoints Mike Conti as Brand Manager of Sports WZGC-FM (92.9 The Game) in Atlanta. He'll continue in his current role as radio play-by-play announcer for the station's flagship coverage of the Atlanta United FC and as host of the Atlanta Hawks Radio Network. Conti came to 92.9 The Game in October, 2012 from crosstown WGST-AM, where he served as assistant News Director. At 92.9 The Game, Conti has served as managing editor, overseeing coverage and production of live sports events.

"Mike has stepped up to the challenge of leading our programming team on an interim basis since February and he has earned this opportunity to lead WZGC," said Audacy Atlanta Senior Vice President and Market Manager Rick Caffey. "We are excited to have his leadership as we continue to build on our performance of providing the very best in entertainment and sports content for our audience and business partners."

"I want to thank Rick Caffey and my teammates at 92.9 The Game for the opportunity to lead such a talented group of content creators," added Conti. "As someone who has been with The Game since the day we signed on ten years ago, it has been remarkable to see us evolve into Atlanta's go-to source of sports information and entertainment, and I look forward to continuing that evolution."

Conti has been the pre-game, halftime and post-game host of the Atlanta Hawks Radio Network since 2014 and the play-by-play announcer for Atlanta United FC since 2018. He has also filled-in as play-by-play announcer for the Atlanta Falcons. At 92.9 The Game, Conti hosted pregame, halftime and postgame coverage of Super Bowl LI for the Atlanta Falcons Radio Network, called the 2018 MLS Cup Final, the 2019 Campeones Cup, and the 2018 MLS All Star Game. He has also hosted two NBA Eastern Conference Finals for the station.
