He worked in on-air roles in markets like Philadelphia, St. Louis, San Diego, and San Francisco before moving to executive roles at the Radio Advertising Bureau and with Saga Communications, Seven Mountains Media, and Broadcast Architecture, among others.
“It’s truly a momentus day personallly, as I announced my impending departure from MacDonald Broadcasting and retirement from the business for which I have been so very passionate,” Lawrence wrote. “I’m truly proud of all I’ve accomplished throughout this wonderful career that has filled nearly half a century in the blink of an eye.”
Lawrence, who writes a weekly column for Barrett Media in addition to his work with MacDonald Broadcasting, says he hopes to continue writing in his retirement.
