Ray Nelson Turns The Page
• We want to extend our best wishes to veteran broadcast executive Ray Nelson, VP/Market Manager of Cumulus Media’s Huntsville, AL cluster, who is making preparations to embark on his next life adventure — retirement. As Nelson explained, “I notified Cumulus in January of my desire to retire from radio and agreed to stay until my replacement could be recruited and hired.”
Nelson continued, “I have been blessed pursing my childhood dream of working in Radio. I’ve been privileged to work for fabulous companies/owners and with many talented individuals. I could fill pages of thanks to those who have over the years mentored and helped me prosper and achieve my childhood dream. I have had an amazing run seeing so many changes, experienced so many stories that could fill a book. After nearly 48 years of working in radio it’s time for the next chapter in my life and time for enjoying time with my family, friends and grandchildren.”
Nelson has been in this post since September 2016, coming from Cox Media Group Birmingham, AL, where he served as VP/GM & Director of Sales. Earlier career stops were primarily in Michigan with Clear Channel Ann Arbor and Fritz Broadcasting in Saginaw, MI.
In conclusion, Nelson said, “I leave behind an opportunity for my successor to work in the fabulous growing Huntsville Market, with wonderful people, top notch products and a great company, Cumulus.” Going forward, Nelson can be contacted at raynelson3216@aol.com.
