Clear Channel appoints Jackie Rinker as Market Manager of its local group in Panama City, FL, effective February 1. Most recently, she was Director of Sales for the company's co-owned cluster in Birmingham. Before making the move to Alabama in February, 2008, she served as Station Manager and Director of Sales for Treasure Coast Radio/Vero Beach, FL. Prior to that Rinker held LSM and GSM positions with Cox Radio's clusters in New Haven, CT, and Orlando.

"We are very fortunate to find someone like Jackie to take over the Market Manager duties in Panama City," said Regional Market Manager David Coppock. "Her extensive background in sales, and early career experience with this type of market will pay dividends for both our advertisers and team members in Panama City."

"I've been thrilled to work for Clear Channel since I arrived in Birmingham," added Rinker. "Ray Quinn has built a culture where everybody works together and is supportive of the sales department. I credit my local and national sales team members for their excellence in putting me in a position to get noticed for a promotion, and they have my respect and gratitude."

"Clear Channel works very hard to discover and develop intelligent and hardworking people," said Executive VP/Operations Mid-Major Markets Hartley Adkins. "Jackie is the poster child for just that, her energy and successful involvement at every level of Clear Channel/Birmingham's operation. Panama City is very lucky to have Jackie moving south!"
