Danville, Illinois — Neuhoff Media has announced that Mike Hulvey, President and CEO, will be departing from the company next spring, taking on a new role leading the trade association representing America’s broadcast radio industry, the RAB. Former Journal and Scripps broadcast executive and current Leadership Coach at Good Karma Brands, Steve Wexler, will serve as Interim CEO and will begin working with the Neuhoff team in January.
In a professional career that began 40 years ago, Mike grew up in the radio business. He began producing radio shows in high school in 1980, started full-time in the industry in 1984, and has never looked back.

In so many ways, we’ve been able to make a real difference for our listeners, clients, and communities. What a blessing and a privilege it has been.”
