NASHVILLE, Tenn., March 17, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Educational Media Foundation (EMF) – parent company of K-LOVE and Air1 radio networks – announces Todd Woods as its chief legal officer.
Woods comes to EMF after serving as Nissan North America, Inc.'s vice president, general counsel and secretary and Lowe's Companies, Inc.'s senior vice president, deputy general counsel and assistant secretary.
"It's a time of exciting and positive change for EMF as it relocates from California to the Nashville area, plus as it expands new distribution platforms to include podcasts, film, books and more," Woods said. "I believe my experience with global corporations that also expanded their scope has prepared me to benefit EMF."
In addition to owning and operating more than 1,000 radio signals through the Nos. 1 and 2 contemporary Christian music radio networks (K-LOVE and Air1), Educational Media Foundation is the parent company of the AccessMore podcast platform, WTA Media, K-LOVE Films and K-LOVE Books (an imprint of EMF Publishing).

Woods earned his undergraduate degrees and a Master of Business Administration from the University of Mississippi as well as a Juris Doctorate from Mississippi College School of Law.
Following a career in private practice, Woods worked with both Lowe's and Nissan where he developed and implemented numerous legal and compliance initiatives to support employees and organizations in transition.
"I plan to create consistent systems and enhance compliance practices to help guide the organization through this season of growth and change," Woods said.
