Media Moves

The media research, marketing, digital and content intelligence provider founded by President Carolyn Gilbert has hired a longtime radio trade publication sales associate as its new Vice President of Sales. 

He joined Coastal Television Broadcasting Group in November 2021 as Chief Revenue Officer. Now he's tacking on the title of President at the broadcast TV station owner.

Scripps has placed 13 veteran print journalists across its local and national newsrooms as part of the second cohort of its Google-backed Journalism Journey Initiative, which aims to recruit mid-career journalists and managers in the industry and redeploy their reporting skills for video-driven reporting platforms.

The Scripps Howard Fund is accepting entries for the 71st Scripps Howard Awards, one of the nation’s most prestigious journalism competitions. The awards honor the journalism and storytelling produced in 2023.

He was a Division Director of Sales focused on the automotive category for Sinclair Broadcast Group from August 2019 until his April 2022 shift to DealerX, a provider of digital marketing, data activation and identity resolution for the automotive vertical. Now, he's become Market President for an iHeartMedia cluster in the Hawkeye State.

He joined FOX News Media with its 1996 creation as a field photographer. Now, he's been promoted to EVP/Production and Operations, from SVP/Field Production and Operations reporting to CEO Suzanne Scott.

She joined the iHeartMedia-owned group of radio stations serving the state capital of Wisconsin in 2019 as an Account Executive and rose to VP of Sales in 2021. Now, she's the Market President for the stations serving Madison.

After almost 45 years in the media business — including 35 years at CBC, Susan Marjetti has announced that she is retiring from her role as General Manager of CBC News.

Established in 1987, the NAB Crystal Radio Awards bring national recognition to radio stations for their year-round commitment to serving communities. A panel of judges representing the broadcast industry and community service organizations will review applications and select 50 finalists and 10 winners.

She spent 19 years at Univision's Dallas-Fort Worth station group, serving as VP/General Manager. Now, many across North Texas and the U.S. Hispanic market are pausing to pay their respects to this Spanish-language media sales trailblazer, who has died of brain cancer. 

He enjoyed a 25-year run as a co-host on the Dave Ryan in the Morning program on Top 40 KDWB-FM 101.3 in Minneapolis-St. Paul and also worked behind the scenes for Tom Barnard on his podcast and on KQRS-FM 92.5. Now, Twin Cities radio listeners and local media are paying tribute to Pat Ebertz.

"Farewell, but Not Goodbye." That's the start of a social media post on Instagram made on Wednesday from the host of a wake-up radio program targeting Black consumers that is concluding its run as a Reach Media-syndicated offering after 27 years of broadcasts.

For the past 23 years he has been the regular weekend host of the long-running "Coast to Coast AM" syndicated talk program and of his own spin-off podcast, "Vaudeville for the Frightened." Now, the team at Premiere Networks is mourning the loss of Ian Punnett. He was 63 years of age and suffered a brief illness.

The Assistant News Director for Graham Media Group's flagship television station, known to locals in Detroit as "LOCAL 4," has been promoted to News Director just ahead of the Christmas holiday.

She joined Nexstar Media Group in August 2021 and oversees all financial aspects of the Dallas-headquartered company's business. And, she'll be doing it for the foreseeable future, thanks to a multi-year extension of her employment agreement with the company founded and led by Perry Sook.
