New year…we all know about new starts and lofty goals and inspiring words. But we’ll continue on and fight off the cooties and let our imaginative creative on the loose…see what happens. Down in Houston, KHOU has exciting news – they filled the CSD slot long held open. DEILIA RAY WILLIAMS is a terrific choice. She’s decamping ABC’s O&O there where she wrangled the marketing. A personal favorite who enjoys great shoes, the art of Frido Kahlo, and her family, Deilia is a southern girl who knows the importance of thank you notes and attention-getting campaigns and topicals. Ms. Deilia has headed up marketing departments at KOAT in Albuquerque and worked at Hearst honing her chops. A great big ‘first of 2021’ Well Dunne to Deilia.

Some people eat black eyed peas to ensure happiness in the new year. Former promo-pro now WTVY/WRGX GM ROBBY THOMAS went for the long view – and got married. He and his new Mrs. are setting up housekeeping in the Dothan, Alabama environs. All the best to you both for happiniess this year and way beyond.
