Weezie

With a name like Weezie, it's impossible to forget her. I worked with Weezie at WJMK for a year or two. She was our general manager before moving on to a better job with a radio group called Entercom. Since that time (about 15 years ago), she has continued to climb up the corporate ladder. This month she's on the cover of Radio Ink magazine. . Here's a short excerpt from the article...


Entercom's Weezie Kramer is one of the most successful women in the radio industry today. In March, Entercom created a new position specifically for Kramer, station group president. She now oversees the operations of all 121 Entercom stations and reports directly to president and CEO David Field. In July she was named the 19th Most Powerful person in radio by Radio Ink. And, in September she was awarded the 5th annual MIW Frances Preston Trailblazer award by the MIW Radio Group. Kramer was the first woman to chair the RAB board, and currently serves on the RAB’s Executive Committee...Kramer is on the cover of the current issue of Radio Ink magazine where she discusses her love for the radio business, her rise to the top and how she single handedly started a girls golf team at her high school in Kentucky (Kramer's friends say she is a scratch golfer today).
