“Brian is well prepared to work with the team to make an impact on the community, our viewers, advertisers and the station,” Marks said.

Dodge had served as digital sales manager for the company’s Pensacola, Fla. and mobile markets since 2015. Prior to that, he held various roles in broadcast and television sales management at a local and national level with various other television stations since 1994.
