Audacy SVP/Programming and WNEW New York PD Jim Ryan will leave next month to focus on his Jim Ryan Media consultancy. Originally planning to exit in December 2024, he stayed to implement Nielsen’s new three-minute qualifier and mark 15 years with the company. Ryan said, “I’m so happy I stayed, as we’ve already seen WNEW beat WLTW with 25-54 women in prime in January — it’s a moment to savor.” He added, “I’ve been blessed to work with the most legendary stationsÉ I’m happy to pass the baton to a respected and well-known colleague.”
