During his tenure at KLOS, he also served as VP\/Rock Formats for Cumulus Media until they sold KLOS to Meruelo in 2019. Cunningham has also served as VP\/Programming for iHeartMedia Seattle and has held programming roles for Clear Channel in multiple markets followed by a 12 year stint consulting for Jacobs Media.<\/p>\n<p>Cunningham says that Black Box Group is a \u201chigh impact, low overhead solution to today\u2019s media challenges. Built on Cunningham\u2019s track record of taking<br \/>multi-million-dollar brands from worst to first, Black Box Group taps a trusted network of<br \/>top-tier creative, analytical, and executional specialists to deliver elite creative insight,<br \/>surgical strategies, and measurable results for audio and media brands, talent, artists, and<br \/>executives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He commented, \u201c\u201cWhile it starts with content, traditional ratings and revenue playbooks have been torched, everyone is now a creator, and the line from A to B changes with every competitive situation. The landscape is faster, deeper, and more complex, but complexity becomes simple if you know how to decode it, and that\u2019s what I do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cunningham can be reached at <a href=\"https:\/\/radioinsight.com\/headlines\/320840\/keith-cunninham-departs-klos-launches-black-box-group-consultancy\/mailto:keithblackboxgroup@gmail.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">keithblackboxgroup@gmail.com<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/keithcunninghammedia\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">LinkedIn<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Keith Cunningham has departed his role as VP\/Programming at Meruelo Media and is launching media consultancy Black Box&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":140137,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[156,157,111,139,69],"class_list":["post-140136","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-entertainment","tag-music","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/140136","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=140136"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/140136\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/140137"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=140136"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=140136"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=140136"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
