DON BENSON’S IN THE COCKPIT
AT JEFFERSON-PILOT

Radio Vet to Oversee Operation of
Entire Radio Chain
Jefferson-Pilot Corporation today announced that it has named longtime radio veteran Don Benson President of the radio division of its broadcasting subsidiary, Jefferson-Pilot Communications Company.

In his new role, Benson assumes overall responsibility for the day-to-day operations of each of Jefferson-Pilot’s 18 radio stations in Atlanta, Miami, San Diego, Denver and Charlotte. He will report to Terry Stone, President of Jefferson-Pilot Communications.

Benson replaces the retiring Clarke Brown Jr., who has spent 38 years with the company—the last 14 as President of the division. Brown will assist with the transition until his previously-scheduled retirement takes effect in June 2005.

For the past 10 years, Benson has served as Jefferson-Pilot Radio’s Senior Vice President of Operations/ Programming. In his over 30 years in radio, he has been with the company for more than 20, including seven years spent as a programming consultant.

Benson began his career with Jefferson-Pilot in 1974 at WQXI AM/FM in Atlanta. He is a graduate of Vanderbilt University and resides in Atlanta with his wife, Martha.
