Before I discuss the next five speakers to join our lineup, I want to thank Silver Tribe Media for signing on once again as our Badge sponsor. We are grateful to have ESPN Radio on board as our After Party partner, Magellan AI presenting our Kickoff party, and Premiere Networks supporting the Awards ceremony. We’re also appreciative of Steve Stone Voiceovers, Core Image Studio, MRN, Quu, Good Karma Brands being event partners as well.
That brings us to today’s announcement, and the latest five speakers to join our lineup. I’m thrilled to welcome David Locke, Bruce Gilbert, Cameron Hendrix, Jen Lada, and John Mamola.
David Locke is the founder and CEO of the Locked On Podcast Network. Under Locke’s guidance, Locked On launched in 2016 and has since grown to more than 200 digital shows, generating 32 million listens and views each month. The company was acquired by Tegna in 2021, and has since added video components to many of its audio programs. In addition to spearheading Locked On’s growth, Locke has also served as the radio play-by-play voice of the Utah Jazz and hosts the Locked On Jazz podcast on Locked On’s platform.
Bruce Gilbert is the Senior Vice President of Sports Content and Audience for Westwood One and Cumulus Media. Gilbert has been with the company for over a decade, and has enjoyed four decades of success inside the radio industry. Prior career stops for Bruce have included ESPN Radio, FOX Sports Radio, Red Zebra Broadcasting, and Sports Radio The Ticket.
