Dan Austin will be replacing Robert Ausfeld as the Market Manager for Townsquare in Albany. Ausfeld told a local newspaper he was retiring after 38 years in the business, all of it in Albany. Austin was hired as the Director of Sales for CBS in Seattle back in May of 2010. He also ran stations in Albany for Pamal and a cluster in Syracuse for Citadel so he's familiar with the upstate New York markets.
The 61-year old Ausfeld told the Albany Business Journal he wanted to spend more time with his family. He has 3 children and 3 grandchildren. He started in radio at the age of 23 in the sales department of WPTR and advanced to General Manager in 1979. In his 38 years he's worked for 11 owners, all from the same office.
