Johnson To Run SummitMedia Richmond & Wichita
• Todd Johnson, Market President of SummitMedia Wichita, KS, has been handed the keys to the company’s Richmond, VA cluster as well.
Johnson has served as President of SummitMedia Wichita since 2020, and company management believes he can parlay his success there for the five stations and digital assets in Richmond. “Todd has done an outstanding job developing our Wichita cluster and I’m confident he will bring the same passion, dedication and leadership to Richmond,” said Summit Chairman & CEO Carl Parmer.
Johnson has spent his entire media career in Wichita, starting at KICT (T95) in 1986 and worked for Great Empire Broadcasting until 2003. He went on to serve as Sales Manager for the Wichita Eagle, GM of KGSO & KQAM and Local Sales Manager at KWCH. Johnson returned to radio in 2016 when he was named GSM for Scripps in Wichita and GM for SummitMedia in 2020, where, in a full-circle career moment, he now oversees a cluster that includes KICT.
“I’m honored to assume this new role for SummitMedia and expand my role in the company,” Johnson said. “I look forward to working with a new team of broadcast and digital experts, while enhancing the products and services we deliver to our clients.”
