MediaCo promotes Brian Fisher to Chief Revenue Officer (CRO), effective immediately. In his new role, Fisher will oversee revenue strategy across the company's portfolio, including national and local sales for linear, audio, events, and digital platforms.

"Brian has been at the center of our growth story," said Albert Rodriguez, CEO of MediaCo. "In recent quarters, we've achieved record revenue, strengthened key partnerships, and entered new markets. We expect continued digital revenue momentum in the upcoming quarter, building on record results from Q2. Brian's leadership positions us well as we pursue our next phase of expansion."

Fisher previously served as Senior Vice President of Video Sales, where he led innovation across digital, linear, and advanced TV platforms. Under his leadership, MediaCo saw digital revenue climb 345% in the first half of 2025, with digital now representing 33% of total advertising income.

Before joining MediaCo, Fisher held senior leadership positions at Disney, Tribune, and McCann-Erickson, where he developed and scaled advertising solutions. A graduate of the University of Arizona, he is also recognized for his expertise in multicultural marketing.

"I'm honored to take on this role at such an exciting time for MediaCo," said Fisher. "We have an incredible opportunity to build on our momentum, expand our offerings, and deliver even greater value to our partners and audiences."

MediaCo owns the Don Cheto Radio Network along with 16 radio stations, including flagship New York outlets WBLS and WQHT (Hot 97). The portfolio also includes two digital Hispanic signals in New York and 12 stations acquired from Estrella Media in an all-stock deal completed earlier this year.
