Tim Sabean

The former Loop and WCKG programmer has re-emerged. Via Tom Taylor's NOW column...

Tim Sabean (pronounced “SAY-bee-un”) had programmed terrestrial rock-formatted stations in markets like Philadelphia (WYSP), Boston (WBCN), Pittsburgh (WRKZ), Columbus (WAZU), Portland (KUFO) and New York (WXRK). Then he latched on at the pre-merger Sirius Satellite Radio as Senior Vice President for the two Howard Stern talk channels. (Tim worked with Stern at both NYC's K-Rock and Philly’s then-WYSP.) He spent a decade at that, before returning to Philadelphia. His reappearance at terrestrial radio comes at Westwood One, in the brand-new role of Senior Vice President of Digital Content. Tim reports to Suzanne Grimes, who holds dual titles as EVP/Corporate Marketing for Cumulus and President of Westwood One. Sabean will be based in New York.
