Saga Communications is re-naming its Program Directors as "Brand Managers." The change was announced in a memo from EVP Steve Goldstein, who wrote, "And so with the notion that things will continue to evolve, we are making a formal title change for all of our PDs from Program Director to Brand Manager. This change is intended to not only reflect how people in our business think about the position of PD but how PD’s think about themselves. Managing the assets of a brand is what you do today, and we think this new title better reflects the change in responsibility and overall outlook."
