Both stations, which are owned by California-based Continental Broadcast Group LLC, air Hispanic music and programming.
Dodge called his exit a “mutual parting.” CBG officials could not be reached for comment.
Dodge plans to remain in radio and said he will soon have an announcement about his next move.
Dodge“There’s something brewing right now, and suffice it to say it’s going to be good,” he said. “Just as soon as I can, I’ll make a statement on my future.”
Before coming to WSYW and WEDJ, Dodge was general manager for WXLW-AM 950, when the sports/talk station was an ESPN affiliate.
Under Dodge’s leadership, WEDJ ratings more than doubled, placing the station in the top 15 in the Indianapolis market, according to New York-based Arbitron Inc. Last month, Dodge helped broker a deal to air Indianapolis Colts games in Spanish on WEDJ and WSYW.
Dodge remains bullish on WEDJ’s and WSYW’s futures.
“They have a very strong niche in this community,” Dodge said. “Both WEDJ and WSYW have a good upside and I expect them to remain strong.”
