Cox Media Group (CMG) has appointed Brian McGhee as Vice President and Market Manager for its Jacksonville radio operations, effective immediately. McGhee succeeds Jimmy Farrell, who recently transitioned to the role of Vice President and Market Manager for CMG Miami Radio.

McGhee joins CMG with more than 15 years of leadership experience across radio, digital media, and sales management. Most recently, he served as Director of Sales for Urban One in Washington, DC, overseeing revenue operations for the company's five-station cluster in the market.

Prior to Urban One, McGhee held the positions of Market President and Chief Revenue Officer for Townsquare Media in Rockford, IL, and General Sales Manager roles with iHeartMedia in both Chicago and St. Louis. Throughout his career, he has been credited with driving revenue growth, expanding key client relationships, developing talent, and implementing training programs that strengthened organizational performance.

"Brian is a strong, people-centered leader with the right mix of sales expertise, operational discipline, and market vision," said Rob Babin, President of CMG Radio. "He knows how to build high-performing teams, develop meaningful client relationships, and create momentum. Just as importantly, he leads with authenticity, accountability, and a real understanding of what local media can mean to audiences, advertisers, and communities."

Babin added that the company is excited to welcome McGhee to both Jacksonville and CMG.

McGhee said he looks forward to building on the market's existing success. "I'm honored to join CMG and to lead the Jacksonville Radio team," he said. "CMG has an outstanding reputation for strong local brands, talented people, and meaningful service to audiences and advertisers. I'm excited to build on that foundation, work alongside this team, and help drive continued growth in Jacksonville."
