“The demands and complexity of our business operations have grown tremendously over the past few years as CMA has expanded our reach internationally and through our various television properties and live events,” said CMA CEO Trahern. “Having someone on our staff with Kevin’s many years of entertainment and TV law experience helps position the Association for future strategic growth.”

A native of Garrard County, Kentucky, Wilson previously worked with FOX Cable Networks where he served as Vice President of Business and Legal Affairs for the Speed network (2002-2013). Wilson also served as Senior Counsel to TNN, CMT, and Country.com, where he managed the Nashville legal department and prior to the acquisition of TNN and CMT by CBS, Wilson was one of two attorneys representing Gaylord Communications Group.
