Cox Media Group (CMG) promoted Brad Mith to Chief Financial Officer. He joined CMG in 2020 as the SVP of Finance & FP&A and has been the interim co-CFO for the last six months. Smith spent the last 20 years of his career in the media space at the crossroads of finance, strategy and operations. Prior to CMG, Smith co-founded Videa, a media technology start-up, where he was SVP of Revenue and Operations. His experience also includes stints as CFO for Four Points Media Group and VP of Finance for NBC Universal.

"Brad brings a unique skillset and perspective to the role of CFO," said CMG President & CEO Dan York. "He's committed to maximizing company performance and efficiency and has been invaluable in helping CMG win in our local markets today while positioning us to continue to do so in the future. This is a well-earned promotion for Brad that also reflects the strength and depth of CMG's talented team."

"We have a great team at CMG, one that's bonded by our commitment to creating value and generating revenue while helping our customers grow their businesses," added Smith. "Local media is special because of the positive impact we have on the communities and businesses we serve. To consistently do that requires collective dedication and partnerships across CMG to align vision with strategy and execution to ultimately exceed our business goals."
