Fears Upped To DOS For Radio One D.C.

• Radio One, the radio division of Urban One, Inc., has promoted Ernest Fears, III to Director of Sales for the company’s five-station Washington, D.C. cluster. Over the past five years in the building, Fears has worked his way up from Account Executive to Local Sales Manager, and most recently, General Sales Manager. Throughout his four-decade career, Fears has driven over $800 million in billing for major media companies like ABC, CBS, and most recently, Radio One.

“During my 40 years in the business in the DC market, I’ve had the chance to work with so many professionals that I have learned from. If not for them, I would not stand where I am today. I look forward to paying forward the help and guidance that I received to my team and their clients,” said Fears, who is also one of the founders of the Media Sales Institute, sponsored by the NAB.

Jeff Wilson, Sr. RVP, added, “For decades, Ernie has been one of the most respected leaders in Washington, D.C. media. But today, we celebrate his leadership and innovation moving forward as we blaze new trails while creating unprecedented solutions for our business partners.”
