Salem Announces Greg Vogt Acting General Manager

OMAHA, Neb.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Salem Omaha announces the appointment of Greg Vogt as acting general manager for the Omaha cluster replacing retiring radio veteran and Salem General Manager Johnny Andrews. Effective Aug. 24, Vogt will assume responsibility for management of Salem's News Talk 1420 AM KOTK, 660 AM KCRO Omaha's Christian Talk, and KGBI 100.7 FM Safe for the Whole Family(TM).

"Johnny Andrews is a real broadcast professional cut from a cloth we don't see often these days," said Allen Power, vice president of operations for Salem Communications. "It has been my honor to work with him during the 'crescendo' of his storied fifty-year career. I am regularly amazed at the people I meet who worked with or for Johnny at one of his posts along the way. I have yet to find one who had anything other than accolades to share."

As acting general manager, Vogt steps into Andrew's sizeable shoes from his position as Salem Omaha general sales manager, a post he has held since Feb. 2005. He served previously as GSM for Salem Chicago and also for Susquehanna KCMO in Kansas City. Starting in 1993 he spent several years as a partner with an Omaha advertising agency before rejoining the radio industry in 2000.

Andrews and his wife will be retiring to the Tampa, Florida area. Reflecting on his years in radio, Andrews said, "It is time to 'turn the mic off' for the last time. It has been a wonderful and memorable fifty years. Only a loving God could have created such a journey."
