By generating these connections with listeners, Erik, his co-host, Jordan Foster, and correspondents Trace Hamilton and Virginia Zachary, are elevating sales and listenership for each station.
“As one of the early believers in Erik Zachary and his show, XYZ, I have had the advantage of seeing over time how good Erik has become at customizing his show for his affiliates, watching him help generate revenue for his stations, and creating video content on both a national and local level,” said Phil Becker, Executive Vice President of Content for Alpha Media. “Anyone invested in the growth of their ratings, revenue, and digital reach should put Erik on their team as soon as possible.”
“We launched XYZ with the dream of creating a radio show that featured quick, bite-sized pieces of content that listeners could instantly connect with,” stated Erik Zachary, host of XYZ with Erik Zachary. “To now have 30 stations also believe in that dream while working alongside a talented team of creatives that I’m lucky enough to call friends, I’m unbelievably grateful.”
