I'm excited to continue my journey with Saga and will continue to place the needs of our listeners, our clients, our staff, and our communities at the forefront."

Cobb, who began her radio and digital sales career at WNOR and WAFX eight years ago, said, "It's a dream come true to take this next step with TCI. I've worked alongside Wayne and Carol for several years and have learned from the best. I look forward to putting what I've learned into action and to continue to serve our incredible company."
