WHO UPPED JR? Jeff “JR” Rizzo has been promoted to SVP Promotion for RCA by his paisan, EVP/GM Joe Riccitelli. Jeff previously held the title of VP Top 40 Promotion. He’ll now be responsible for overseeing Top 40, including strategy and rollout, from his Chicago base. Said Riccitelli, who previously worked with Rizzo at Jive, “and there is nothing more satisfying as an executive than to see someone rise from local promotion manager to SVP of promotion. JR is a truly talented Top 40 executive. I am very proud of him and his accomplishments.” Rizzo also had a quote ready for the occasion. “Doing what you love to do is great, but doing it at a place you call home is a blessing,” he said. “I could not be any happier working with the best roster of artists and executives in the industry. I would like to thank Peter Edge, Tom Corson and Joe Riccitelli for this amazing opportunity and look forward to contributing to the continued success of RCA. Go Blackhawks!" (6/7a)
