Gisele Sowa, General Manager, 91.7 The Bounce, is pleased to announce the appointment of Andy Winford to the position of Program Director, effective May 17, 2010.
In his new role, Andy is responsible for managing the day-to-day operations and on-air activities of 91.7 The Bounce.
Andy brings with him more than 10 years of successes in the U.S. radio industry. His superior leadership skills routinely resulted in accelerated rankings, growth in core demos, and consistent improvement in ratings.
Beginning his career in 1998 at CBS Radio in Fresno, California in the role of Assistant Program Director and Afternoon Host, Andy spent 4 years balancing his role as an on-air personality with flexing his leadership abilities overseeing all part-time staff at the station. Over the next 7 years, Andy’s roles escalated to that of Program Director for mainstream CHR, active rock, classic rock, AC and Classic Hit stations. Under Andy’s direction, his stations routinely attained #1 rankings in key demographics. With a keen eye toward delivering top-notch results, Andy successfully reigned in budgets resulting in bottom-line savings, committed to adding new models for revenue generation for his stations, and created unique opportunities for sales teams to monetize programming elements.
Andy’s addition to 91.7 The Bounce brings a new vitality and edge to the station, and also serves as a homecoming for Andy, who spent several of his childhood years in Edmonton.
