No reason was given for the split and the change was made without any announced transition. Cox simply announced Wednesday that Guthrie, who’s been with CMG for 22 years, was leaving as CEO. Steve Pruett, Executive Chairman of Cox Media Group, will serve as the Interim CEO until a permanent CEO is hired.
Guthrie said, “We have built a strong foundation for future growth, including an exceptional senior management team, a successful carveout from Cox Enterprises, and deep, long-term relationships with our communities, customers and partners. I have full confidence in this great team at CMG and I look forward to watching CMG’s future achievements.”
I smell a rat…
Looks like a nice person and looks to have had a successful career but I am sure Leon Black spent a few minutes with her and saw she did not have the breadth of experience needed especially coming from the radio world of Cox…How can someone with this experience be involved in the Television World?? In the Cox world politics always rules over experience!!!
