Cox Media Group (CMG) has appointed Jimmy Farrell as Vice President and Market Manager of CMG Miami Radio, effective immediately. In his new role, Farrell will oversee the company's four stations in the market -- WFEZ (Easy 93.1 FM), WFLC (Hits 97.3), WEDR (99JAMZ), and WHQT (Hot 105 FM). Farrell succeeds Ralph Renzi, who had led CMG Miami Radio since 2017 and is departing to pursue another opportunity.

A 32-year broadcast veteran, Farrell most recently served as VP and Market Manager for CMG Jacksonville Radio since 2022. Under his leadership, the Jacksonville cluster raised more than $1 million for the Child Cancer Fund of Jacksonville, logged over 1 million community service moments, earned a 2023 Marconi Award for CHR Station of the Year (WAPE), and achieved record audience shares in 2025.

"Jimmy is a terrific leader who builds strong teams and achieves extraordinary results," said Rob Babin, President of CMG Radio. "After succeeding in roles of increased responsibility across the CMG Radio business, he's earned the deep respect and trust of his teams and the industry. I know CMG Miami Radio will thrive under his leadership, just as the Jacksonville team has done."

For Farrell, the move marks a return to where his career began. A graduate of the University of Miami, he started as an intern for CMG Miami early in his career.

"I'm very excited to come home to lead CMG Miami Radio and continue their outstanding efforts to positively impact our loyal listeners, outstanding communities and clients," said Farrell. "I'll miss our CMG Jacksonville team, but I look forward to the meaningful opportunity in front of me."

Farrell also serves as Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors for the Ronald McDonald House Charities in Jacksonville and plans to continue similar community leadership efforts in Miami.
