After 25 years with Cox Media Group, Keith Lawless has resigned as Regional VP and General Manager for the company's Tampa and Houston clusters. His last day will be September 2. No replacement has been named. Before adding the Houston group in March, 2021, Lawless was VP/Market Manager in Tampa since 2009, after moving up the radio ladder from General Manager in 2005, GSM from 1999-2005 and National Sales and Account Manager prior to that.

Have to wonder what the future of the Cox Houston radio cluster will be, in light of CMG’s impending acquisition of two TV stations in the market (KHOU and KTBU.) Will they keep it as a radio-TV cluster or might the radio properties be sold off, either as a group to a broadcaster not currently in Houston, or in pieces to existing clusters in the market?

Of course the CMG deal for the TV stations is dependent on the larger Standard General-Tegna purchase being approved. Currently that is held up by petitions to deny.

Cox has, in the past, said it would like to have more radio/TV clusters. Of course, it would seem to have bypassed adding one in San Antonio as KENS wasn't part of the TEGNA/Standard General deal involving WFXT. It also recently broke up its Tulsa radio/TV cluster as it sold KOKI/KMYT to Imagicomm.
