10 Questions with ... Ross Mahoney1. What excited you most about returning to Audacy/Las Vegas as Alternative RVP/Programming?
When I programmed KXTE from May 2016 through September 2020, we were very successful. The station performed well in the ratings, we put on successful events and gave listeners amazing experiences that will last with them forever. The hope of returning KXTE to that type of radio station is something that I couldn't pass up. Also, the people. I made lifelong friends working there.
2. Talk about your homecoming. How did you feel when you walked back into the same building you left in the 2020 programming restructure?
It felt like a mix of redemption and what I was most comfortable doing. Nobody wants to be let go or downsized. Audacy took good care of me with severance, and I was smart with my money. I was fortunate that I didn't HAVE to take a job somewhere else. Whenever I had the opportunity to speak about employment with other companies, I would do some soul-searching. I would often ask myself if I wanted to be in radio so bad that I would pack up and move across the country again and would be conflicted about it. Whenever someone would ask me my perfect scenario, my response would always be "I hope Audacy calls me and says they made a mistake and would love for me to return." I feel very fortunate.
