Byerly has been serving as the Associate General Manager/DOS of the five station and digital group which has earned multiple awards including its third NAB Crystal in the past year.

“Kathy’s promotion to GM is well-deserved and a true example of “rising through the ranks” says Neuhoff Communications President/CEO, Beth Neuhoff. “Kathy has availed herself of every opportunity to improve her skills. She is a compassionate and motivating leader. Mike and I could not be prouder to see Kathy lead this team to new heights.”

“I’m thrilled to be leading a team that has proven time and again the core values of our company; Grit, Community, Innovation and Excellence” remarked Byerly. Every day we are winning for our listeners, clients, community and resetting the bar for what a local media company looks like in our local market.”
