Audacy has expanded Andy Hawk's leadership role, naming him Brand Manager of Classic Rock KSEG (96.9 The Eagle) and KRXQ (98 Rock). In the new position, Hawk will oversee content strategy, talent, operations and branding for both stations, while continuing to serve as Brand Manager of KKDO (ALT 94.7).

Ryan Castle, Audacy's Rock Format Vice President, said Hawk's local roots and experience make him well-suited to guide the stations forward, calling him "the definitive choice to lead these two legendary brands into their next chapter."

Hawk, a Sacramento native, said he has longstanding ties to the stations and their programming teams. "I've grown up with these stations and have worked alongside the programmers of KRXQ and KSEG for the last two decades," he said. "It's truly an honor to get to lead these two massive Sacramento brands."

Hawk has more than 25 years of industry experience. He began his radio career as an intern at 98 Rock in 1997 and later hosted "Local Licks." From 2009 to 2015, he served as a traffic and weather anchor before moving into management in 2016 as the company's Alternative Regional Brand Manager.
