"Jason's success thus far in Milwaukee has demonstrated his ability to drive growth and innovation, making him a sound choice to oversee our Madison team," said Audacy Regional President Brian Purdy. "We're looking forward to him taking the helm of our Madison market and its brands as we aim to super-serve our listeners and clients."

"I am excited to work with our legendary Audacy Madison stations and tenured staff. They feel like a tight family," added Bjorson. "I'm even more thrilled to combine the Madison group with Milwaukee to carry the torch for Team Wisconsin."

Bjorson is a 20-year media veteran including time at Cox Radio in Jacksonville, FL and Journal Broadcast Group in Knoxville, TN. At Journal Broadcast Group, he rose from Account Executive to lead the company's flagship station WTMJ-AM in Milwaukee, WI, and the Green Bay and Milwaukee Brewer Radio Networks. Bjorson joined Audacy after leading a new business sales team for an HR Tech company in the SAAS space and overseeing advertising sales teams for Spectrum Cable.
