Bob Price and Tom McCarthy

Bob Price has been at the helm of Townsquare Media stations in Casper, Wyoming since 1968. Along with serving as market president, Bob has also been a beloved morning show host, charity advocate, public speaker and fundraiser. He is now stepping away from that role to become Townsquare Media Casper's Vice President of Community Partnerships, focused on community partnerships and helping our local small businesses succeed and grow.

His successor will be Tom McCarthy who joined Townsquare Casper as Digital Managing Editor in 2010, and quickly grew into the position of National VP of Digital.

"Working for Bob for over 20 years has been the highlight of my career - he's been the boss and friend of a lifetime, and I owe him more than he knows," said Donovan Short, Casper Director of Content. "When you're lucky enough to encounter those rare people like The Buffalo, you always wonder in the back of your mind how in the world things carry on after - in this case, it couldn't be a better scenario."

Townsquare SVP, Kevin Godwin commented, "I've had the good fortune to work with Bob over the past few years and his passion for media, broadcast and our local community in Casper is unparalleled. He has undoubtedly confirmed why so many of us love what we do. I'm thrilled that Bob will continue to contribute his many talents and experience as Tom begins his own journey in leading our team. Tom's tremendous skill set, his relationships and desire to build upon Townsquare Media Casper's stellar reputation and deep community connection made it an easy choice as to who should succeed Bob in this role."

Townsquare COO - Local Media, Erik Hellum added, "Bob Price's daily commitment to the Casper community and the state of Wyoming is unrivaled - he is the gold standard for doing well by doing good. He has not only embodied the Townsquare ethos of live and local, but has strongly influenced our mission through the great work that he and his team have done, and I couldn't be happier that he will continue to do that in his new role. With a deep understanding of the Townsquare playbook, extensive leadership experience, and a deep commitment to the Casper community, Tom McCarthy is a worthy successor of Bob and someone we are excited to promote into the role."
