When it came time to select the next Director of Sales for Cox Media Group’s radio stations in San Antonio, it ultimately went with a former Drill Instructor and a six-year special investigator and SWAT officer with the Greenville, N.C. police department.
As of Sept. 17, the CMG job in the Alamo City goes to Ken Newman.
