"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."
