Educational Media Foundation (EMF), the company behind the Christian radio networks K-Love and Air1, has announced the resignation of CEO Todd Woods. Woods will continue in an advisory role until June, with EMF board chair Tom Stultz stepping in as interim CEO. The board is set to conduct a search for a new executive. In the interim, Jerry Shirer will serve as interim board chair, and Mark Brannon will act as interim vice chair.

Woods joined the Franklin, TN-based company in September, 2022 as Chief Legal Officer after a tenure at Nissan North America. He was appointed CEO of EMF in March, 2023. Since Mike Novak's retirement in 2018, the CEO post at EMF has been held by three individuals, with Woods following nearly four years of leadership by Bill Reeves.

During his time as CEO, Woods oversaw several significant acquisitions, including the recent $7 million purchase of three Nashville signals and one Honolulu FM from Salem Media Group.

Reflecting on his tenure, Woods stated, "I have enjoyed my time serving in multiple roles at EMF. It's been a privilege, and I look forward to serving wherever the Lord leads me from here."

Stultz added, "The Board of Directors and the Ministry Leadership Team would like to thank Todd for his work, contributions, and service with EMF. We wish him well in his future endeavors."
