Dickey Broadcasting Company appoints Andy Roth as Director of Programming for DBC's heritage Sports/Talk WCNN & W229AG (Sports Radio 680/93.7 FM The Fan) in Atlanta. The 30-year industry veteran has been the sole Brand Manager for WKRK (92.3 The Fan) in Cleveland since it signed on in 2011 and currently serves in that capacity. He led the Marconi-winning sports radio staff of WGR in 2009 and also founded MLB Radio, the first ever all-baseball internet radio station.

In his new role at Dickey Broadcasting Company, Roth will be responsible for managing and coaching DBC's prime-time lineup of talk hosts, four regional sports networks (including the Atlanta Braves Radio Network), a growing Digital Department and DBC's Production Department.

"We are thrilled to welcome Andy Roth to the Dickey Broadcasting Company family," said DBC President David Dickey. "His extensive experience and strategic acumen will be instrumental in driving our programming and content-creation strategies forward to provide Atlantans and the region's sports fans with the best shows, insight, and analysis. We are very confident that Andy's experience and leadership will help us achieve new levels of consumption and listener engagement for our listeners, our team partners, and our great sponsors."

"I'm thrilled to join the staff of this heritage radio station," added Andy Roth. "David Dickey's team has been an important part of Atlanta's sports scene for over 3 decades, and I can't wait to experience everything from the Atlanta Braves to the crowning of a college football champion in Atlanta as the calendar turns to 2025."
