Following its acquisition of Alpha Media, Connoisseur Media has appointed Keith Dakin as Senior Vice President of Programming. In his new role, Dakin will oversee programming across the company's expanded portfolio of stations and digital platforms nationwide. Most recently, he's served as VP of Programming since 2019, rising from Connecticut Regional Operations Manager. Dakin previously programmed WFNX-FM in Boston.

"Keith's programming expertise and leadership have been a major contributor to Connoisseur's growth and success," said Connoisseur Media CEO Jeff Warshaw. "As we expand our footprint, Keith is the ideal leader to develop and implement our programming strategy across the country. His passion for music, content, and his commitment to local communities will ensure that our stations continue to succeed."

In his new capacity, Dakin will lead programming teams in delivering locally relevant content across all formats and markets, reporting directly to the CEO.

"It is truly an honor to move into this larger role with the newly expanded Connoisseur Media," said Dakin. "I am extremely excited to work day-to-day with this unbelievable roster of programmers and air talent. I can't wait to dig in and make great radio with this tremendously creative staff. Thank you so much to Jeff Warshaw who has been a true champion of mine since I started here. His leadership, vision, and commitment to real radio will hopefully give this industry the shot in the arm it needs."
