Audacy welcomes Ryan Hurley as the new Brand Manager of WFAN (WFAN-FM/AM) and Infinity Sports Network. Hurley succeeds Spike Eskin, who is departing for SportsRadio 94WIP (WIP-FM) in Philadelphia, as the lead content executive for both brands.
Ryan knows radio, sports and New York, making him a triple threat to take the reins of WFAN, which continues to be the city’s most influential and dominant sports platform,” said Chris Oliviero, New York Market President, Audacy.
“In addition, with Infinity Sports Network, Ryan will have a major impact on the sports conversation nationwide. All of us at Audacy are excited to welcome him to the team.”
“I am excited and grateful to have the opportunity to join this legendary station,” said Hurley. “The term ‘dream job’ can get thrown around a lot, but as someone who grew up listening to The Fan religiously, that is exactly what this is. There is an incredible team here led by Chris Oliviero, and I look forward to this journey ahead with them.”
Hurley spent the last two decades at ESPN New York, starting there as an intern in 2004 after graduating from Hofstra University.
While there, he produced various shows and live play-by-play broadcasts, working his way to becoming the station’s Executive Producer and eventually Program Director in 2017. Â
David Mayurnick has been named Assistant Brand Manager of WFAN and Infinity Sports Network and will report to Hurley.
Listeners can tune in to WFAN (WFAN-FM/AM) in New York on air and nationwide on the Audacy app and website. Fans can also connect with the station via Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
