RADIO ONLINE | Tuesday, November 19, 2019 |
Sad to report that Granum Communications President/CEO Herb McCord has died. He was 77 and had suffered from heart and kidney issues over the past year. McCord, who co-founded Granum in 1990, received the Ward L. Quaal Leadership Award from the Broadcasters Foundation of America in 2015 for his management of the company. Before launching Granum, McCord served as VP/Radio at Greater Media for ten years.
In an e-mail sent Tuesday, former HD Radio Alliance Corporate Affairs President Peter Ferrara, who was also a founding partner and COO at Granum, said, "It is with great sadness that I tell you Herb passed away early this morning. He had been struggling with serious health issues recently and had been going downhill steadily the past year. His son, Michael, was with him as he died peacefully under the care of Hospice."
Beasley Media CEO Caroline Beasley said McCord was a "thoughtful and treasured leader in the radio industry, he joined our board in 2001 and played an important role in shaping the company's success. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family. He will be greatly missed."
