Katie Philippi To Replace Retiring Julie Gade As GM Of Alpha Media-Lincoln, NE

Gade, Philippi

JULIE GADE has retired as GM at ALPHA MEDIA's LINCOLN, NE cluster, and GSM KATIE PHILIPPI has taken GADE's place as GM, effective YESTERDAY (10/1).

"When you do something since 1977 it’s both exciting and terrifying when it’s time to walk away,” said GADE, adding that her career has been “crazy fun and rewarding almost every day" and that “Radio, our websites, and digital advertising products have been evolving, but one thing that has not changed is the family bond you feel with broadcasters anywhere in the country. They seem to all have a common desire to help, educate and entertain their listeners and viewers. I will miss that energy, their intelligence and insatiable need for humor on a daily basis."

“Over the past 11 years, my day to day role as a sales manager has changed often,” said PHILIPPI. “This is part of the reason I am still so invigorated by the career.” When asked the key to successfully managing a team of people she said, “It requires developing an incredibly high level of trust on both sides.”

The cluster includes News-Talk KFOR-A-K277CA, Sports KLMS-A-K268DF (ESPN 101.5/1480), Top 40 KFRX, Active Rock KIBZ (104.1 THE BLAZE), Classic Rock KTGL (THE EAGLE 92.9), and Country KZKX (KX 96.9).
