Doug McMonagle is the Northeast regional director for Inergize Digital Media, a division of Clear Channel Broadcasting that helps TV stations transition their operations into the age of the Web and multimedia.

His 30 years of media experience include working in the radio, cable television, broadcast TV and interactive industries. Over the course of his career, he has experienced numerous changes in the media world.

He has held positions of responsibility from general manager to account executive, but has spent most of his time as a sales manager of one kind or another. The University of Minnesota graduate began in radio in the mid 1970s. He then moved into the fledgling cable TV industry where he helped create one of the first "hard" interconnects in the country and one of the earliest regional sports networks (Midwest Sports Network) while working for WCCO's Midwest Broadcasting Inc. 

His experience in television occurred when many changes unfolded, including the impact of UHF signals, cable TV and the Internet. Five years ago he joined Clear Channel Television's Interactive Division, which became Inergize Digital Media in 2006. Inergize provides Web sites and sales support for all Clear Channel TV stations as well as those owned by Scripps Broadcasting, Four Points Broadcasting, Bay City TV and several others.

McMonagle serves on the TVB Multi Platform Committee and, for the last two years, has been on the the Editors' and Publishers'  Association's Judging Panel for Internet sites.
