Salem Communications Appoints Bob Fox as General Manager for Sacramento Station Cluster

Fox joined Salem Communications three months ago as general sales manager in Sacramento from Clear Channel, where he served as general sales manager in Toledo, Ohio, for the past three years. His career has been filled with years of experience as a general manager and general sales managers for numerous radio and television stations.

"We are fortunate to have someone with the energy and talent of Bob Fox at our Sacramento cluster," says Malievsky. "His proven ability to grow what has already been established is a matter of record, and should serve him well in his new position of General Manager. It is exciting to have his strong leadership within Salem's ranks."

Fox commented, "After working with the Salem staff in Sacramento for the last three months, I am amazed by the talent and possibilities that I have ahead of me. My wife and I are thrilled to be back in California and are thankful for the welcome we have received from the entire company."

Malievsky continued, "Bob Fox will replace Joe Cruz, who has taken a position with Hispanic Broadcasting, after serving eight years to build Salem's Sacramento cluster. We are grateful for his service and we look to Bob to carry on and expand on the work done before."

Fox will also continue in his position as general sales manager. Fox is a graduate of the University of Hawaii, and is married with three children and three grandchildren. He and his wife, Bonnie, have recently relocated to Sacramento.
