“I am extremely excited to be joining the TOWNSQUARE team in PRINCETON and the iconic WPST brand,” said CHESSARE. “I've watched closely over the past few years how ERIK HELLUM and ROB WILLIAMS have attracted some of the best talent in media, many of whom I have worked with before. I'm looking forward to being a part of one of the most innovative media companies in the nation.”

COO-Local Media ERIK HELLUM said, “With our 'Local First' focus, TOWNSQUARE hires great Market Presidents for every single one of our markets, rather than splitting responsibilities across markets. Given that, I am thrilled that an incredible leader like STEVE has joined the TOWNSQUARE team to run our PRINCETON market. One of AMERICA’s best CHR’s, WPST, is in great hands!”
