Phil Boyce is an American program director for Salem Communications. He had previously served in the same capacity for NewsTalkRadio WABC (AM) in New York City, as well Vice President of news/talk programming for ABC Radio and program director for Talk Radio Network.[1]

Boyce is currently the VP/Dir of Spoken Word for Salem Communications. In this capacity Boyce supervises the 24 NewsTalk stations owned by Salem, in addition to the 40 Christian Talk and Teach stations, and the 11 Business Talk stations. Boyce is directly responsible for on air programming at WNYM and WMCA Radio in New York City, and now works out of the station's Manhattan studios and offices.

Overview

Boyce programmed WABC Radio programs as well as nationally syndicated ABC Radio shows, including The Sean Hannity Show and The Mark Levin Show. Boyce handled programming at all ABC Radio news/talk stations, including KABC-AM in Los Angeles, WLS-AM in Chicago and WMAL-AM in Washington, D.C. He reported to general manager Timothy McCarthy at WABC, as well as to Mitch Dolan, president of the ABC Radio Station Group on the corporate level.

In 2009, Boyce joined TRN, transforming the network from one that specialized in à la carte syndication to a straight 24-hour network. Boyce launched programs such as America's Morning News (a show hosted by Melanie Morgan, who was well known for her time at ABC-owned KSFO), while dropping weaker programs such as Tammy Bruce. In contrast to trying to sell individual shows, under Boyce, TRN has been offering its entire lineup to single stations, such as KDXE, which carries exclusively TRN programming. The Masters family are the owners and operators of TRN.

Boyce was raised in Pueblo, Colorado.
