BOSTON, MA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 08/28/09 -- Salem Communications announced that Pat Ryan has been appointed General Manager of its three Boston radio stations, WEZE (590 AM), WROL (950 AM) and WWDJ Radio Luz (1150AM).

In announcing this appointment, Joe D. Davis, President of Salem's Radio Division, said, "Pat Ryan is the kind of manager we like to promote from within. She has proven her abilities with increasing levels of responsibility during her tenure with Salem, and has won the trust of staff and clients. When we needed someone to sell time on WROL right after we purchased it, Pat stepped right up and volunteered to take on additional responsibility. She has experienced one success after another since that day."
Allen Power, Vice President of Operations, commented, "During this management transition Pat has stepped up and proven that she is the right person for the job. Her years of loyal, hard-working service to Salem have equipped her well for this new challenge. She is a seller's seller and a Quincy (with a "z") native who understands the market well. Most importantly, she understands the unique nature of Salem's clients, listeners, and local pastors and loves our stations and their mission."
