RADIO ONLINE | Friday, June 23, 2017 |
The Broadcasters Foundation of America has elected Cox Media Group President Kim Guthrie and Bayou City Broadcasting founder and President/CEO DuJuan McCoy to its board of directors. Additionally, Premiere Networks President Julie Talbott is named an Officer and Vice President. The new members and Talbott were voted in during the board meeting that took place in New York City earlier this week.
"The addition of these highly respected industry leaders to our Board and executive ranks will further enhance awareness of our mission to provide assistance to broadcasters in need," noted BFA Chairman Dan Mason. "Their dedication to helping our colleagues who need it most is an inspiration that I hope will reverberate across our industry so that we can help more broadcasters in need."
Guthrie oversees all content, sales and operations for Cox Media, including more than 60 radio stations, 14 broadcast television stations, seven daily newspapers, 11 non-daily publications and more than 100 digital sites and services.
In December 2007, McCoy founded and became Owner, President and CEO of Bayou City Broadcasting. In 2008, his company agreed to purchase seven TV stations from Sage Broadcasting Corp., thus earning the distinction of being the only African American company to own and or operate a Fox Affiliate in the U.S.
Talbott oversees the operation of Premiere Networks' roster of more than 90 radio programs and services, while managing business partnerships with talent and leading and maintaining key affiliate relationships to sell and service Premiere Networks and Total Traffic & Weather Network.
For more than 70 years, the Broadcasters Foundation has distributed millions of dollars to thousands of needy broadcasters and their families. Individual donations can be made to the Guardian Fund, corporate contributions are accepted through the Angel Initiative, and bequests can be arranged through the Legacy Society.
