Radio Research Consortium promotes Molly Davis to CEO

Molly Davis will lead the Radio Research Consortium as its CEO, the organization announced Wednesday.

Davis, RRC’s COO since 2024, fills the chief executive vacancy left by the death of co-founder Joanne Church. Davis’ promotion to CEO will take effect July 1.

“We are very excited to see Molly Davis’s leadership elevate the RRC’s profile and value proposition for our public media and non-commercial radio industry clients,” said RRC board chair Stephen Schram in a press release. “Her strategic focus and positive energy have driven a new level of organizational success. Molly’s efforts to recruit new staff to [revitalize]  customer-facing roles and accelerate the upgrade and modernization of operational functions are already yielding notable results and improvements.” 

Davis joined RRC last August. She previously worked for nearly 20 years at WFDD in Winston-Salem, N.C., including nearly a decade as an assistant GM. 
Carol Jacobs, RRC’s CFO, has led the organization on an interim basis since Church’s death. She will move to a part-time role until she retires next year.
