Cox Media Group has announced Darren Moore has moved to Dayton OH as VP/General Manager overseeing the company’s radio and television stations in the market.
Moore has spent the majority of his career with Cox’s television stations starting as an intern at WPXI Pittsburgh. After three month stint in Erie, he joined Cox’s WAXN Charlotte in September 1996 and rose to Local Sales Manager before returning to WPXI in 2005. At WPXI he started as Local Sales Manager and rose to National Sales Manager and finally Director of Sales in 2018.
Moore succeeds Rob Rohr, who stepped down at the end of 2021.
Cox Media Group (“CMG”) today announced the appointment of Darren Moore as Vice President & General Manager of CMG Ohio, effective immediately.

Moore joined CMG 26 year ago as an intern for WPXI in Pittsburgh, launching an impressive career built on his early childhood memories of visiting the station with his father, a former CMG employee. After finishing his internship, he relocated to Charlotte and worked as an Account Executive for the newly launched WAXN. Upon his return to Pittsburgh, his career continued to progress from National Sales Manager at WPXI/WJAC/WTOV, to Local Sales Manager of WPXI, and later to Director of Sales.
