The Society of Broadcast Engineers (SBE) has elevated Roz Clark, Executive Director of Radio Engineering for Cox Media Group, to the membership rank of Fellow.
Clark joined the SBE in 1990 and has held continuous membership since 2000. He served two terms on the SBE Board of Directors in 2018 and 2020 and has been the treasurer for SBE Chapter 39 since 2013.
“Roz represents what’s best in our Cox Media Group leaders,” said Rob Babin, EVP of CMG Radio. “He leads with unwavering conviction, empathy, and by example. Guided by experience and fueled by expertise, he turns challenges into opportunities and ideas into impact.”
Clark joined CMG in 1993 and has been involved throughout his career with the National Radio Systems Committee, the IEEE Broadcast Technology Society, the Association of Federal Communications Consulting Engineers, and has served on the NAB’s Radio Technology Committee. He’s also been a driving force in his chapter’s annual Technical Symposium.
“I’m a huge believer in the power of Radio and the unique way we bring local news, emergency information, entertainment, and important discussions to communities,” Clark said. “It’s been my life’s mission to help inform, entertain and elevate the audiences we serve, and there’s not place I’d rather be than where I am right now.”
According to those who nominated Clark for SBE Fellow, he is a “leader who can both listen well and execute well” and is an “exemplary force in bridging the technical operations and the company management needs.” One nominator wrote, “His passion for the radio business is shown by his involvement and paving the way so that there is a future for this medium.”
In 2015, Clark was awarded the Robert W. Flanders SBE Engineer of the Year Award. In 2021, he earned Radio World’s Excellence in Engineering Award.
