Boldon Joins CMG To Run AC/Hot AC & ATL Ops
• Cox Media Group Atlanta welcomes Emily Boldon as Director of Operations for CMG Atlanta and Director of AC & Hot AC Content for CMG.
In this role, Boldon will lead the day-to-day operations for AC WSB-FM (B98.5) and Classic Rock WSRV (97.1 The River), along with programming, promotions, and commercial production for CMG Atlanta. She will also direct initiatives of AC and Hot AC radio stations across CMG’s markets nationally.
Boldon most notably spent 20 years with Cumulus, programming AC WWLI (Lite Rock 105)/Providence and rising to VP of AC Formats and Stratus Music Scheduling until leaving the company in March of this year.
“Nothing is more important than having top talent in the right role,” said Jaleigh Long, VP/Market Manager of CMG Atlanta Radio. “We are thrilled to have Emily’s leadership, experience, and energy at CMG Atlanta. She’s a pro and will make a great impact on our legendary music stations.” Chris Eagan, CMG VP of Audience & Operations, remarked, “Emily is one of the most talented programming minds in the industry and I could not be happier to have her at CMG. Overseeing our Atlanta radio brands and providing guidance to our award-winning AC and Hot AC stations is no small task, but there is no one more ready for the challenge than her. Welcome Emily!”
Boldon commented, “Cox Media Group has amazing brands in great markets with incredibly strong programmers leading their success. The Atlanta stations are the crown jewels for CMG. I am ready to take on this new role, and I am invigorated by the energy and innovative leadership at the Atlanta stations lead by Jaleigh Long. Additionally, taking over as the Director of AC/Hot AC Content allows me to do what I love — mentor, coach and support local programming to grow ratings and revenue in exciting markets that are new to me, like Tampa, Miami, and San Antonio. Thank you to Rob Babin and Chris Eagan for this exciting opportunity. You can count on me to continue to build on the path of excellence you have created at CMG.”
