David Field Steps Down as Audacy CEO After 27 Years

Kelli Turner, board member and former CFO at Sun Capital Partners, named interim CEO as the company seeks new leadership.

David Field, who led Audacy (formerly Entercom) since 2002, has stepped down as CEO and president effective immediately.
Field will transition to a new role as Special Advisor to the CEO and Board of Directors.
Audacy, the second-largest U.S. radio broadcaster, recently emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy with a restructured balance sheet.
Kelli Turner, an Audacy board member since September 2024, will serve as interim CEO while the company searches for a permanent replacement.
During Field's tenure, Audacy expanded from 15 stations to a $1.2 billion multi-platform audio company with over 230 stations and a significant podcast presence.
