Wilson Leaving WQMX:
Rubber City/Akron VP/Operations and Country WQMX PD Sue Wilson is leaving the company after nearly 12 years to pursue other interests. "It is with a grateful heart I step away to knock a few things off my bucket list," she says. "I've had many great years at this locally owned, community-focused company and will be forever grateful to Thom Mandel and Nick Anthony for the chance to lead this amazing team. I'm also proud to be leaving with WQMX at the top of its game!" Adds President/GM Thom Mandel in a memo to staff, "I have known Sue for around 30 years and during that time I have known her always to be an exceptional radio personality, then programmer, then senior manager ... During her time here she revolutionized how WQMX does country music and she has impacted the way it is done around the country." Reach Wilson here. A search is underway for her replacement.
