Paul O'Malley Exits Charleston GM Seat For Higher Saga Role
Saga Communications said Paul O’Malley will leave his role as President and GM of Charleston Media Solutions to become Senior VP of Revenue Development, overseeing digital revenue strategy. Saga reported on its first-quarter call that interactive digital revenue rose 25.2% to $4.4M, digital-only blended revenue increased 103% to over $1M, and blended packages totaled $3.6M, up 59%.
