Curtis Media Group appoints Alex McTighe to Group National Sales Manager, effective August 9. In his new role, McTighe will be responsible for the company's national billing in both the Raleigh-Durham and Greensboro-Winston Salem markets. He joins the company from McGavren Guild Media where he was an account executive in the firm's Los Angeles and New York offices.

"I am very excited to begin the next chapter in my radio career with Curtis Media, a true leader in the radio industry," said McTighe. "Curtis Media's commitment to a local product in this age of consolidation was instrumental in my decision to join the company."

Group Senior VP/Director of Sales Adam Maisano added, "We've worked closely with Alex on a number of key accounts over his six years with McGavren Guild. It was important to me that we find someone who was exceptionally creative, could function at our rapid pace and wasn't intimidated by the high bar of performance in our national sales area. Alex fits that bill perfectly."

McTighe replaces Cameron Poston who after five years was recruited to join NBC Television Sales in New York. Prior to joining McGavren Guild, McTighe was a local sales rep for Spanish Broadcasting System's WPAT-FM/New York and a business development sales associate at Clear Channel Radio Sales.
