MIAMI, FL – November 12, 2026 – 104.3 WQAM (WQAM-FM), an Audacy sports station in Miami, has named Zach Gelb its new Brand Manager. In this role, he will lead the station’s content strategy, talent, operations, and branding, including its flagship coverage of the Florida Panthers, Miami HEAT, Miami Marlins and the University of Miami Hurricanes football and men’s basketball.

“Zach brings a blend of programming instincts and nationwide sports talk experience that positions him perfectly to continue the growth and success of 104.3 WQAM,” said Claudia Menegus, Regional President, Audacy. “His vision and leadership will be vital as we continue to elevate our flagship partnerships, inspire our talented team and deliver the best sports coverage for South Florida’s passionate fan base.”

“I’m honored and elated for the opportunity to help lead WQAM, a legendary sports station that I have great respect for and have been listening to for years,” said Gelb. “I’m excited to build our next chapter with this incredible staff and deepen our connection with our passionate South Florida fanbase. I’m grateful to Chris Olivero, Jeff Sottolano, Claudia Menegus, Chris Kinard and everyone at Audacy for their belief in me. I am beyond ready to take this new, exciting step in my career.”

Gelb launched his career at WNJE in New Jersey, leading programming and hosting on-air from 2016 to 2018. Over the years, he has hosted across major sports markets including Audacy’s WFAN in New York, SportsRadio 94WIP in Philadelphia and WEEI in Boston. He went on to host the nationally syndicated “The Zach Gelb Show” on CBS Sports Radio / Infinity Sports Network from 2018 to 2025, and most recently served as a studio host for NFL and NCAA football and basketball broadcasts at Compass Media Networks.

Good landing spot for the Temple alum, who was swept up in the Infinity Sports Network takeover and rebrand of 2025. Audacy calls this role “brand manager,” which is a more modern name for program director. The responsibilities are largely the same.

The Infinity Sports Network thing was super-confusing, and it affected Jody Mac, too, who had been doing shifts for the company from the very beginning. I did my best in trying to explain it thusly:

1. Back in 2012, CBS partnered with Westwood One, which was owned by a company called Cumulus Media.
2. The partnership created CBS Sports Radio, a national network that was programmed by CBS itself, which later became Entercom, and then Audacy.
3. CBS Sports Radio eventually re-branded as Infinity Sports Network in the spring of 2024.
4. In October of 2025, Audacy and Cumulus announced a merger between Infinity Sports Network and the BetMGM network.
5. As a result, Audacy no longer programs Infinity Sports Network, with Westwood One taking over instead, rebranding as Westwood One Sports.
6. That wiped the talent slate clean.
