Darren Moore Named VP-GM Of Cox Ohio

Cox Media Group has appointed Darren Moore vice president and general manager of CMG Ohio, effective immediately. He will oversee all CMG Ohio operations including news, programming, sales, digital, engineering, production and community affairs in Dayton, Ohio, for CBS affiliate WHIO, WHIO-AM-FM, WZLR-FM and WHKO-FM.

Moore joined CMG 26 year ago as an intern at WPXI Pittsburgh, launching a career built on his early childhood memories of visiting the station with his father, a former CMG employee. After finishing his internship, he relocated to Charlotte, N.C., and worked as an account executive for the newly launched WAXN. Upon his return to Pittsburgh, his career continued to progress from National Sales Manager at WPXI-WJAC-WTOV, to local sales manager of WPXI, and later to director of sales.

“Darren’s passion for people, the broadcasting industry and CMG is infectious and inspiring,’ said Paul Curran, EVP of television at CMG. “His strong track record of forging internal and external relationships will make a positive impact on our Dayton operations and in the Dayton community. I look forward to watching him excel in this new role as our approach to broadcasting in Dayton continues to evolve.”

A Pittsburgh native, Moore is a graduate of the University of Pittsburgh.
