Urban One Exec. Action: McKay & Abernethy

• Urban One, Inc. announced key leadership appointments within its Audio Division, reinforcing the company’s commitment to strong market leadership, operational excellence, and continued growth across its major markets — Pam McKay has been named VP/Market Manager of Urban One Atlanta, and Doug Abernethy returns to Urban One as Regional Vice President, overseeing the company’s Texas markets, including Houston and Dallas.

McKay earns the transfer to Atlanta from her current role as VP/Market Manager of Urban One Houston, where she lead the cluster through a period of transition and the integration of the former Cox stations. McKay previously served as General Sales Manager and National Sales Manager for Clear Channel Houston and Market President for iHeartMedia Austin and San Antonio.

For Abernethy, this marks a return to the position he formerly held for 11 years until March 2015, when he joined Entercom/Audacy as VP/Market Manager for South Florida. He most recently served as Audacy’s Austin-based Regional President overseeing Austin, Atlanta, Denver, Greensboro, Greenville, Las Vegas, Phoenix, Portland, and Sacramento until his departure in May.

“Pam and Doug represent the kind of leadership that moves our business forward — strategic, disciplined, and performance-driven,” said Alfred C. Liggins III, CEO of Urban One, Inc. “Pam’s proven record of building high-performing teams and driving market growth, combined with Doug’s operational expertise and regional insight, strengthens our ability to deliver results and position these markets for long-term success.”
