CMG is set up for the future in an even stronger way with 2 important internal promotions this week. First, Darren Moore will be CMG's first SVP & Chief Sales Officer - CMG Television. Darren is a legacy team member - his dad worked for CMG in Pittsburgh (WPXI-TV) - and will be accountable for CMG's sales and revenue strategy across its TV business. That includes a focus on helping our advertisers expand their reach. Second, Omesh Somaru was promoted to VP/GM of CMG-TV Jacksonville and will lead WJAX-TV and WFOX-TV (a Hoffman Communications' station). Omesh will continue building on Jacksonville's strong momentum and ratings. Darren and Omesh are strong leaders with innovative business minds. As importantly, they're outstanding people who lead with optimism and conviction. Congrats to both for very well-earned promotions!
