Matt Smith

We’re very fortunate to have Matt Smith heading up our Affiliate Relations effort.  His extensive background in addressing the needs and concerns of GMs and PDs has been unparalleled which explains the wide respect he has garnered throughout the industry. 

He was Senior Director of Affiliate Relations for eight years at Syndication Networks, oversaw the programming of WAUR AM 930 in Chicago and more recently has been the head of Fox Rock Communications focusing on the unique needs of both large and small stations.  In short, Matt brings to our network the kind of straight-forward, no-nonsense service that radio outlets have rightfully come to expect. 

Having worked for multiple radio stations and their syndicators, Matt has acquired the skills necessary to fulfill the demands to which GMs and PDs are frequently subjected.  How?  He simply makes their demands his own. 

That’s why he has had irrefutable success launching such high profile radio clients and services like Radio Superstar Prep Service, The Race Report Updates, Impact Radio Weather, Jayne FM, Your Weekend with Jim Brickman, Kevin Dees Teen Top 20 and Rick Dees' Weekly Top 40: The 80's and The 90's.  He learned that regardless of the program, it’s not enough for it to be great – it must also be relevant to the station’s needs and demographics.
