His extensive marketing and business leadership experience are spot-on for this role. The fact Chris was with Commonwealth early in his career completes the circle. He knows our values, and we know his. It is a perfect fit for us.”
Houchens added, “It feels good to come home. Media and broadcasting were my first love.

I’m excited to lead a great group of people to serve our community.”
