Woods Named Pres. Of Townsquare Lawton, OK

• Townsquare Media Inc. has named Dakota Woods as Market President and Chief Revenue Officer for its Lawton, OK local media cluster, which includes Country KLAW 101.3, Rock KZCD (Z94) and Top 40 KVRW (107.3 PopCrush).

Woods will report to Townsquare Regional VP Robert Truman, who said, “I’m looking forward to working with Dakota. He has proven to be a strategic thinker who is highly motivated and comes to us with great experience in radio, television and digital solutions. Even more encouraging than his experience is Dakota’s deep roots and relationships in the community, and his strong desire to serve Lawton for years to come.”

The new gig means a return to the Townsquare building — and a sweet upgrade — for Woods, who previously worked down the hall in the sales department. More recently he was LSM and Digital Sales Manager for Gray Television’s ABC affiliate KSWO-TV/Lawton.

Woods commented, “I’m excited to re-join the Townsquare Media team in Lawton, as I’ve missed how progressive Townsquare is in helping local businesses grow across its many platforms. Lawton is my home and it is such an honor to be representing these iconic community-connected brands we have in the market.” Townsquare COO, Local Media, Erik Hellum added, “Townsquare is committed to being live and local, so we are proud to hire a talent like Dakota, a Lawton resident who is fully committed to his community, and glad to welcome him back home.”
