Media Moves

He was initially brought to Byron Allen’s Allen Media Group in June as EVP and Head of Corporate Development. Now, just weeks later, he has taken the title of Chief Financial Officer of the media company.

He co-hosts a podcast called "Cancel Culture." Come October 19, this industry "thought leader" will keynote the 2022 NAB Show New York opening event at the Javits Center in New York.

To listeners of a Beasley Media Group Top 40 station in its home market, he's known as "Big Mama." To the Lee County Florida School Board, he's candidate Jason Jones. With his candidacy, this longtime morning show zookeeper took time away from the program to avoid any equal time requirements the FCC enforces. Now he's gone for good.

A Townsquare Media Senior VP is now on the NAB Radio Board. At the same time, the President/CEO of Graham Media Group that ascended to the role with the retirement earlier this year of Emily Barr is joining the SVP and Head of Federal Government Affairs for NBCUniversal on the NAB Television Board of Directors.

He joined Cox Media Group some 19 years ago as an account executive in Orlando, rising to Local Sales Manager at Country WWKA "K92" in Orlando and, later, to GSM and most recently Director of Sales. Now, this company veteran is transferring to Jacksonville to oversee all of the company's radio stations in the market.

He's a nearly 18-year veteran of Cox Media Group's radio stations in the Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater market. Now, after 3 1/2 years as Director of Branding and Programming for two of the cluster's FM stations, he's being given Operations Director duties for the entire station group.

It is a company largely known for its efforts across the broadcast television landscape. Yet, Sinclair Broadcast Group on Friday expanded the company’s digital executive leadership team with the creation of two new positions. One is a VP of Audio Programming who exits Audacy's Cadence13.

Cumulus Media owns and operates eight radio stations in West Michigan, split evenly between Muskegon and Grand Rapids. As of today, the properties have a new Vice President/Market Manager.

Until now, she's served as the Director of Communications and Publicity at Disney Media Entertainment & Distribution (DMED), where she oversaw communications for the eight-owned ABC stations since joining Disney over two years ago. Now, she's leading corporate communications as a VP for National Geographic Content.

He's the company founder and serves as its Chairman and CEO. But, that doesn't necessarily mean Perry Sook can remain Nexstar Media Group's chief executive officer for as long as he chooses. That decision is up to Nexstar's Board of Directors. And, they've just agreed to extend Sook's employment agreement keeping him CEO for a few more years.

The Asst. Brand Director for Audacy Corp.'s top-rated '80s-fueled K-Earth 101 has just added oversight of two similarly formatted Classic Hits stations the company owns in the Southwest. One property is in the Valley of the Sun, while the other is in America's Finest City.

She's been at Entravision since 2014 and began her career 31 years ago at Dailey & Associates. Her resumé includes experience at such storied Hispanic advertising agencies as Casanova Pendrill and Publicis Sanchez & Levitan.  Now, she's the first-ever EVP of Global Marketing at the Los Angeles-headquartered global media and digital advertising solutions company led by Walter Ulloa.

Since 2013, he has been a key technology leader for Effectv, the Philadelphia-based video advertising firm. Now, he's joining Hearst Television as its first-ever VP of Ad Operations and Information Services, starting August 1.

KUSC-FM in Los Angeles and KDFC-FM in San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose are siblings, operating under the USC Radio Group "Classical California" brand. Now, the University of Southern California has named a new President for its radio group, comprised of the stations airing KDFC and KUSC from Mendocino County to San Diego.

There will be no change in the roles of Chairman and Vice Chairman at ACA Connects, the advocacy and lobbying group representing America's small-market and independently owned MVPDs — and a legislative foe to broadcast TV on subjects such as retransmission consent fees.
