Greetings:

This week saw THREE new News Director openings, including one today in Indianapolis where a veteran news director left her station.

THREE other stations named a new ND (though all three have previous ND experience).

That means our count of open ND jobs remains at 30.

THREE of those openings are featured in paid help wanted ads that you’ll find below, along with TWO ads for Executive Producer jobs.

We’ve freshened up our list of Other News Management Openings, will report three obituaries, including two for mothers of people you may know, and, in Names in the News, will report on a number of executive changes in network news departments. And we’ll also feature a new job-seeker in our free Situations Wanted section.

Read on!

Greetings:

To my knowledge, we may be headed for the first husband-wife set of news directors at different stations at the same time. You’ll learn more about that possibility as you read about the THREE new ND openings which lead our report this week, along with FOUR newly named NDs. That brings our count of open ND jobs to just 30. (And those of a certain, uh, advanced age might be interested in who’s been the interim ND at one of those newly filled jobs.)

You can learn more about one of those newly opened ND jobs in a paid ad below. And we also have two ads for executive producer openings.

We have three obituaries: one for a current New York City news manager, one for a newswoman best known for her anchoring who worked briefly as an Assistant News Director in St. Louis, and the third for a former Detroit GM and broadcast company president.

And in Names in the News, RTDNA names a Hogan honoree and a former ND gets a promotion at AccuWeather. We also have news of some veteran GMs with new jobs.

All that and more below!

Greetings:

Another busy week, with ONE new opening and FIVE open ND positions filled.

There are FOUR new ND openings, and THREE new NDs to report.

That reduces our count of open ND jobs to 31.

We have just one ad this week: that’s for an Assistant ND position in Portland, OR. We also have a new Situations Wanted ad (along with information about how you can take advantage of that free service.)

Also this week, I’m sorry to report the death of the husband of a longtime ND now working in Illinois. That information is below.

Two veteran ND’s lead off our Names in the News section: one is returning to TV after six years as a realtor. And we have a few news managers on the move there, too.

One small correction from last week: in reporting WNCT-TV News Director MARTY VAN HOUSEN‘s move to WGCL-TV in Atlanta as the Assistant ND there, I screwed up WNCT’s affiliation. It is a CBS affiliate.

New News Director Opening:

Vincent

KQDS-TV, Duluth, MN…JASON VINCENT has resigned as ND for this Red River Broadcast owned FOX affiliate after a controversial Facebook post. More details in this article. He’s been ND there for about 2 1/2 years. He was previously a morning anchor in Fargo, ND, and has also worked in Mankato, MN.

Newly Named News Directors:

Fischer

XETV, San Diego, CA…JON FISCHER is back in a newsroom as ND for this CW affiliate. Jon’s a former ND in Minneapolis, Salt Lake City, and Palm Springs, CA. He’s also worked for three Los Angeles stations (two as Assistant ND) and worked for ABC News for three years. Since leaving Palm Springs in 2009, he’s been an owner/partner in a consulting firm, RealNews Collective. Jon replaces CHRISTINE TANAKA who left the station in March after two years as ND.

Turchetta

KEYE-TV, Austin, TX…GREG TURCHETTA begins Monday as the ND for this CBS affiliate recently purchased by Sinclair. Greg most recently was the Assistant ND for WOFL-TV in Orlando. He’s been an Assistant ND in Ft. Myers, an EP in Atlanta, Seattle, and Ft. Myers, and worked as a photographer in Orlando and Jacksonville. At KEYE, he replaces SUZANNE BLACK who resigned her job last month after five years as ND.

D'Astoli

KJRH-TV, Tulsa, OK…SUSAN D’ASTOLI will be the next ND for this Scripps owned NBC affiliate. She’s currently the Assistant ND for Scripps’ WFTS-TV in Tampa, and will remain at that news director-less ABC affiliate until after the Republic National Convention later this month. Susan’s also been an EP for Scripps’ KNXV-TV in Phoenix and an EP for WSB-TV in Atlanta. She’ll replace STEVE WEINSTEIN who’s been promoted to GM for Scripps’ KERO-TV in Bakersfield, CA.

Freeman

WEHT/WTVW-TV, Evansville, IN…BOB FREEMAN begins his second stint as an ND in Evansville as he is promoted for this duopoly. Bob’s worked there in a variety of roles since 2005, and spent 11 years as ND for WFIE-TV in Evansville before that. He’s also worked in Louisville. Nexstar owns WEHT (ABC) and produces news for WTVW (independent) Bob replaces BOB WALTERS who left the station in June after about a year as ND and 12 years at the station.

Burch

WJHG-TV, Panama City, FL…JAMIE BURCH has been named ND for this Gray Television owned NBC affiliate. He’s been the EP for WKRG-TV in Mobile for the last five years, and has also worked in Atlanta, Dallas, and Bryan, TX. (It’s been a busy summer for Jamie: he and his wife SARAH welcomed their second child in May.) At WJHG, he replaces GAVIN MALISKA who left the station in June after one year to take an ND job in Macon, GA.

Obituary:

Faye

I’m very sorry to report the death of MICHAEL FAYE, husband of longtime News Director KATIE (McMANUS) FAYE. He died suddenly on Tuesday at the age of 57. His body was found in a field where he’d been scouting deer hunting locations. They were married for 24 years. Katie described him as ‘her best friend and the love of her life’ in a Facebook post. Katie’s been ND for WICS/WICD in her native Illinois since January. She spent seven years before that as an ND for WTVY-TV in Dothan, AL, which reported his passing here. She’s also been an ND Jackson, TN, and Sarasota, and has also worked in Nashville, Miami (two stations), Tampa, and Dallas. Your kind note of sympathy would reach Katie here: katie_faye@yahoo.com

August 5, 2012

Greetings:

As always, it was nice to see some of you at this week’s Unity Conference in Las Vegas. (More on that at the end of this section of the newsletter.)

It’s been a busy week. There are FOUR new ND openings, and THREE new NDs to report.

By my count, that leaves 35 ND openings.

That revised count of openings includes WTLV/WJXX-TV in Jacksonville, FL. We reported to you a few weeks ago that KATHY WILLIAMS had been named ND there. I’ve since learned that she’s the interim ND for that Gannett-owned duopoly, so we’ve relisted that as an open position in our conplete list below.

We have THREE paid ads this week, a new one for an Assistant ND job in Portland, OR, and repeats of a blind box ND ad and another for an EP in Orlando.

Names in the News features the retirement of a longtime GM, a decision in an age-discrimination suit against a New York City station, and details on a former ND who’s headed to academia. And our Situations Wanted segment features a former ND who’s anxious to return to a newsroom.

Finally, this week’s Unity Conference saw a dramatic decrease in attendance, compared to the 2008 gathering in Chicago. More on the numbers and the reasons behind them in this article from the New York Times.

New News Director Openings:

WRC-TV, Washington, DC…CAMILLE EDWARDS has left this NBC o-and-o to become ND at WABC-TV in New York. More on that below.

WISN-TV, Milwaukee, WI…LORI WALDON stays within Hearst as she is being promoted to ND for KCRA-TV in Sacramento. More on that below, too.

WNCT-TV, Greenville, NC…MARTY VAN HOUSEN, who’s been the ND for this Media General CBS affiliate since October, 2009, has been named Assistant ND for WGCL-TV in Atlanta. Marty’s been an ND in St. Louis and Jacksonville, FL, and previously worked at KABC-TV in Los Angeles.

WETM-TV, Elmira, NY…SCOTT NICHOLS is leaving this Newport TV owned NBC affiliate. He’s been named ND for WCTI-TV in Greenville/New Bern, NC. And you can find more on that below, as well.

Newly Named News Directors:

Edwards

WABC-TV, New York, NY…in one of two moves we reported on Monday, CAMILLE EDWARDS has been named ND here. She’s been the ND for NBC’s WRC-TV in Washington for the last four years, and was ND for NBC’s WMAQ-TV in Chicago. Camille is no stranger to ABC…she was the Assistant ND at WPVI-TV in Philadelphia when current WABC GM DAVE DAVIS was the GM. And she also worked as an EP for WLS-TV in Chicago, and in Baltimore and Toledo. Camille replaces KENNY PLOTNIK who left the station in June after 10 years as ND and 25 with ABC.

Waldon

KCRA-TV, Sacramento, CA…LORI WALDON returns to Sacramento as ND for this Hearst owned NBC affiliate. As noted above Lori is already works for Hearst as the ND for WISN-TV in Milwaukee, a job she’s held for almost six years. Before Milwaukee she worked in Sacramento as the Assistant ND for KOVR/KMAX-TV. Lori also worked at KPIX-TV in nearby San Francisco for 13 years. She’s also worked in Charlotte, Mobile, and Peoria. Her predecessor at KCRA, ANZIO WILLIAMS, left the station in June after five years as ND. He’s now ND for WCAU-TV in Philadelphia.

WCTI-TV, Greenville/New Bern, NC…as mentioned above, SCOTT NICHOLS is joining this Bonten Media owned ABC affiliate as its next ND. Scott is currently ND for WEMT-TV in Elmira, NY. He’s also worked in Binghamton, NY. He replaces SHANE MORELAND who left the station last month to take a GM job in Virginia.

MICHAEL O’NEIL:

O'Neil

Middle-aged white male looking for work as a News Director, Assistant News Director, Executive Producer or Producer. (Sounds like a personal ad that would get rejected by my soul-mate.)

Emmy Award winning News Director now serving tables. While my tips are great, my passion lies in local television news. Grab your attention a little more?

Award winning broadcast journalist with a 25 year history of ratings growth, building winning teams, passionate about great storytelling, maintaining budgets along with expertise in writing, social media and web content. I’ll stick with that one.

Those don’t grab you? Check out my mug, who wouldn’t hire him (darn, once again sounding like a personal ad, but that is my real picture)?

Contact me, Michael O’Neil, at mocapdad@gmail.com, because 100 words don’t do me justice.

(Full disclosure: Michael worked for me in Grand Rapids.)

Names in the News:

A federal jury in New York City ruled against former WPIX-TV News Director KAREN SCOTT in her age discrimination suit against the station. She sought $4.5 million in damages.

Longtime General Manager JIM CLAYTON announced his retirement this week, effectdive at the end of 2012. He’s been GM for KOMO-TV in Seattle since July, 2006. He earlier was a GM for WNYW/WWOR-TV in New York, WJBK-TV in Detroit, and WLWT-TV in Cincinnati.

Kraycik

Speaking of KOMO-TV, Assistant News Director STEVE KRAYCIK is leaving that ABC affiliate to become Director of Student Television & Online Services and Senior Lecturer at Penn State University. Steve’s a Pennsylvania native and tells me he’s delighted to be returning home. He’s been at KOMO for two years, was ND for KCPQ-TV in Seattle for four years before that, and spent six years as ND for KTXL-TV in Sacramento, CA.
