I've learned a great deal while working alongside Wayne Leland. 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.
