LOCAL RADIO NETWORKS (LRN) has added 24/7 music format vet PATRICK (PAT) CROCKER as EVP. He will focus on super-serving the needs of local radio owners and operators, develop new revenue-generating products, and support LRN’s relationships with SKYVIEW NETWORKS and ABC RADIO. 

”In the past year-and-a-half, we have collectively amassed over 135 years of treasured time and talent along with critical expertise in 24/7 music formats,” CEO STEVE SWICK said. ”With the addition of PAT to our growing team, we can further expand our services and are well on our way to attaining the leadership position within the 24/7 music format space. I am delighted to welcome PAT and enthusiastic about what lies ahead for LRN and our affiliated radio station partners.”  

CROCKER will join several other WESTWOOD ONE vets at LRN, including MATT CALDARONELLO, CHRIS REEVES, CHRIS HATTON, JONATHON STEELE and CHAD SENG.

"LRN offers local broadcasters an exciting combination of strategic benefits that attracted me to the company,” said CROCKER. “The opportunity to focus 100% on the small and medium market radio community, without other corporate and WALL STREET distractions, is appealing and will allow me to deliver the products and services that local broadcasters need to compete and thrive in today’s environment. The association with SKYVIEW NETWORKS and ABC RADIO is a powerhouse combination that makes it all-the-more enticing. I’m looking forward to rejoining my former colleagues who have migrated to LOCAL RADIO NETWORKS."
