In Philadelphia, Audacy SVP and Market Manager David Yadgaroff has announced his retirement after a 36-year career.
Audacy Regional President Mark Hannon described Yadgaroff as a “true broadcast legend,” in a release.
Yadgaroff was inducted into the Broadcast Pioneers of Philadelphia Hall of Fame last year alongside teammate Dave Skalish, who as we profiled, is the technical director for Audacy’s Philadelphia cluster.
A graduate of Penn State University, Yadgaroff began his journey as a local sales manager for all-news KYW(AM). In 2001, he moved to crosstown Greater Media to serve as general sales manager for WMGK(FM) for two years.
He later returned to the CBS Radio cluster as vice president and general manager, which at the time consisted of KYW, WPHT(AM), WYSP(FM) and WOGL(FM).
Yadgaroff was elevated to CBS Radio SVP/market manager in 2015.
“Radio started as a hobby for me, and I was fortunate enough to turn that passion into a lifelong career,” he shared on LinkedIn.
The Audacy release also highlighted his community involvement with organizations including Beyond Celiac, Penn State, the Police Athletic League, the Philadelphia Ad Club, the PA Association of Broadcasters and the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia’s Corporate Council.
