Bob Lawrence Exploring His Options
• Bob Lawrence, GM/Market Manager for New South Radio in Jackson, MS announced that he’s stepping back from the day-to-day duties at the six-station cluster. Lawrence remarked, “The Holladay family operates such wonderful groups throughout in the Southeast and Jackson is a terrific market. I love every single person on this team and I’m confident they are 100% primed to continue the terrific growth we’ve experienced over the last 2 1/2 years.”
Group President/Owner Clay Holladay said, “Bob has done a great job creating a solid, new structure, while also adding additional outstanding team players in programming, sales, and support. He has truly set us up for continued success and we are excited about our relationship and his role with our Meridian cluster, while he explores other options, as well.”
Mike McVay of McVay Media, commented, “Bob went to Mississippi after 5+ years as Corporate VP of Programming for Saga Communications, but we first found a mutual admiration for each other when he launched and was President & CEO of Pinnacle Media Worldwide for over 15 years. He is a rare broadcaster in that he has experiences as an entrepreneur, Market Manager, in corporate and station operations, programming, and research.” Going forward, Lawrence can be contacted at 601-746-7136 or bglawrence@me.com.
