Get Well Soon, Chris Forgy!
• RAMP is wishing a speedy recovery to Saga Communications President & CEO Chris Forgy, who has taken a temporary medical leave of absence.
No further details were made available in the limited information contained in a SEC 8-K filing that states:
“On February 13, 2026, Saga Communications, Inc. announced that Christopher S. Forgy, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, began a temporary medical leave of absence that requires an indefinite period of recovery. We anticipate that Mr. Forgy will be available for consultation on significant matters during his recovery and the Board has designated Wayne Leland, the Company’s Chief Operating Officer and Samuel D. Bush, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer to assist with Mr. Forgy’s responsibilities until Mr. Forgy returns from his medical leave.”
Forgy was elevated from SVP of Operations to President & CEO in November 2022, filling the void created by the passing of Saga Founder & CEO Ed Christian, who had occupied that role from 1986 until his death in August 2022 at the age of 77.
