has extensive experience in the radio industry.
While serving as regional president of Citadel
Broadcasting in Grand Rapids, Michigan, for
nearly a decade, Matt Hanlon oversaw 85
radio stations that spanned more than a dozen
markets. The Grand Rapids Press featured him
in an article in 2010 that focused on his New
Jersey childhood and his passion for Bruce
Springsteen and the Grateful Dead.

3.  In the article, Mr. Hanlon describes growing up
in a large family with six siblings and forging the
strong ties that still define him today. Summer
family reunions bring together dozens of family
members for a week of barbecues, body
surfing, and sing-alongs by the Atlantic seaside.
Despite a passion for music, the
communications and political science major
did not immediately enter the music industry
after graduating from university. After a short
stint as an ironworker, he joined the Merv
Griffin-owned Atlantic City radio station Lucky
99.

4.  He ultimately forged an innovative
approach to programming that included
mixing musical genres and eras "from
Willie Nelson to Wilco." The article entitled
