Charlie Morgan, long-time leader of the Susquehanna/Cumulus radio cluster in Indianapolis, has been hired by Emmis Communications Corporation to lead its four Indy radio stations (WIBC-FM, WFNI-AM, WYXB-FM and WLHK-FM).

"Charlie is widely regarded as one of the best managers in radio and we are excited to welcome him back to the Indianapolis radio scene," Patrick Walsh, Chief Operation Officer and Chief Financial Officer of Emmis said.

For the last two years, Morgan has served as President and COO of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Productions and Radio Network. Prior to joining IMS, he spent 22 years at Susquehanna (now Cumulus), serving in a variety of roles with increasing responsibility, including on-air personality, program director, operations manager and VP/market manager of WFMS/WJJK/WISG from 2000-07.

Morgan, 48, is widely known, respected and active in the Indianapolis community. He is past Chairman of the 500 Festival, Indianapolis Civic Theater and Radio Broadcasters of Indianapolis. He is past radio chair of the Country Radio Broadcasters, and currently sits on the board of directors of Keep Indianapolis Beautiful, Indiana Amber Alert State Committee and Butler University Board of Visitors.

Morgan begins his role as VP/Market Manager for Emmis on September 14th. He replaces Tom Severino, who passed away in early July after a 5-month battle with cancer.
