Monday, October 29, 2018 UPDATE:

Greetings:

A veteran newsman gets his first news director’s job…and at a top five market network owned station.

Stone

We’re talking about JOHN STONE who’s been named VP/News for KXAS-TV, the NBC owned station in Ft. Worth/Dallas, TX. Here’s the official announcement.

John joined the station last year as Assistant News Director. He spent the previous 13 years at WABC-TV in New York in a variety of roles, including Assistant ND. He’s also worked for two stations in Boston and for MSNBC.

He replaces the man who hired him, MARK GINTHER, who left the station last August after three years as ND.

We’ll have more in our full report this weekend.

Greetings:

Slow one week, busy the next. Last week was busy, so you know what that means.

To the best of my knowledge, there weren’t ANY news director changes this week.

The number of open news director jobs stands at 29. If you see something on the list that is wrong, please let me know.

There are THREE new help wanted ads…all for Assistant News Director jobs in three very different newsrooms.

We have a small number of news manager changes, and ONE GM change…that in a top ten market at an network o-and-o.

This week’s only obituary, however, hits very close to home.

My mom, EDITH GEVERS, died yesterday in St. Louis at the age of 94. Full details are below.

Obituaries:

Edith                          Gevers

As mentioned above, my mom, EDITH GEVERS, died Saturday at a St. Louis nursing home. A Leap Year baby, she was born on February 29th, 1924, and had been in pretty good shape until the last few days. Despite declining health and a battle with Alzheimer’s, she maintained a remarkable sense of humor. Last week, after my brother-in-law told her they’d made a haircut appointment for her, she asked “Are you insinuating I need one?”

She’s also survived by my sister, KATHY MAYES, and our spouses, KAREN BURNS and STEVE MAYES. Services will be next Saturday (11/3) in St. Louis. More on my mom’s life in this obituary.

October 21, 2018

Greetings:

Remember how slow our reports have been the last few weeks.

Not this week!

Not with FOUR new news directors (all in top 35 markets), and THREE new ND openings, TWO in top 30 markets. One of those ND openings is at a top ten network o-and-o, and the opening was created because the incumber is off to be a GM.

Our list of open ND positions eases down slightly to 29.

ONE of those openings is featured in this week’s only Paid Help Wanted ad.

TWO obituaries this week, one of a veteran news director and one of a founder of NABJ.

And we have many items in Names in the News, including a lengthy New Yorker Magazine look at Sinclair Broadcasting.

Read on for more!

Newly Named News Directors: 

Sepulveda

WVEA/WVEN-TV, Tampa and Orlando, FL…ÁNGEL SEPÚLVEDA returns to Entravision as news director for its stations in Tampa and Orlando. He’ll be based in Orlando but travel to Tampa every week. Angel once worked in Orlando as a producer and has consulted for Telemundo. Media Moves has the full story here.

Hostetter

KDKA-TV, Pittsburgh, PA…KATHY HOSTETTER will be the next ND for this CBS o-and-o. She’s been the ND at WTHR-TV in Indianapolis for the past 5 1/2 years. Kathy told me her husband BEN, a Pennylsvania native, is taking a new job there. And she knows KDKA GM JAY HOWELL from when both worked for LIN Media. Kathy’s been an ND in Louisville, Norfolk and Ft. Wayne, and has worked in San Jose/San Francisco and Grand Rapids, MI. At KDKA, she replaces ANNE LINABERGER whose departure in August came after 8 years as ND and 19 at the station.

Carter

WTNH-TV, New Haven/Hartford, CT…it appears you can go home again…and again…as CHUCK CARTER gets the big office in his third time at this Nexstar owned ABC affiliate. Here’s the news release. The move reunites him with GM RICH GRAZIANO: they’ve worked together at another Hartford station and in New York. Chuck was the Assistant ND here until June, when he left for the EP job at WTXF-TV in Philadelphia, and he’d been a producer at WTNH earlier in his career. Chuck replaces KEITH CONNORS who left in July to become ND for cross-town rival WFSB-TV.

Clark

KCTV, Kansas City, MO…another ND hire with the initials CC (why yes, you’re right, we ARE scrambling for unusual angles) as CASEY CLARK has been named ND for this Meredith owned CBS affiliate. KCTV GM CHUCK PODUSKA told the staff via email. Casey’s been the ND for Hubbard’s WHEC-TV in Rochester for the past 3 1/2 years, and has worked in markets all over the country. Casey replaces SCOTT LEVY who left in August after two years as ND.

New News Director Openings: 

McClain

WAGA-TV, Atlanta, GA…we’re always pleased to report the promotion of a news director to general manager, and such is the case as MIKE McCLAIN is being promoted to GM for sister FOX o-and-o WJZY/WMYT-TV in Charlotte. He’s been ND at WAGA for eight years, earlier served as ND for FOX owned stations in Tampa and Birmingham, and began his career as a news photographer.

WTHR-TV, Indianapolis, IN…we told you above that KATHY HOSTETTER is leaving this Dispatch owned NBC affiliate after 5 1/2 years to become ND for KDKA-TV in Pittsburgh.

WHEC-TV, Rochester, NY…and we also told you above that CASEY CLARK will leave to become the next ND for KCTV in Kansas City. Casey was ND for this Hubbard station for more than three years.

He was 83 and lost a long battle with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. This Orlando Sentinel obituary will fill you in on a long and interesting life.

Names in the News (and other items):

The New Yorker offers a lengthy look at what it calls the growth of Sinclair Broadcasting’s conservative media empire. It suggests the company has concentrated on smaller markets where its stations can have a big influence.

Houston

Old friend CARLTON HOUSTON will be leaving his gig as Assistant News Director for Tegna’s WUSA-TV at the end of the November book. Carlton told me he’s looking for a great new challenge. He’s a former ND in Oklahoma City and Tulsa, worked in news management in Tampa and Jackson MS, and on air in Kansas City, Norfolk, and Columbia, MO.

Kiriyama

GEORGE KIRIYAMA joins KTNV-TV (Scripps/ABC) in Las Vegas as Managing Editor. He’s been the Managing Editor at KCOY-TV in Santa Maria, CA for the past four years. George began his career as a reporter, working in Midland/Odessa, TX, Kalamazoo/Grand Rapids, Kansas City and San Francisco/San Jose.

GEORGE DUNSTER, a longtime news director in Lima, OH, is moving to Ohio to live with a daughter. He’s 86 now, and after 25 years at WLIO-TV, spent years working in local theatre. He’s enough of an icon in Lima to warrant this profile. Of note: George’s son SEAN followed him into TV, and served as ND for several stations, including WHIO-TV in Dayton before leaving the business last year.

And apologies to GERRY LANOSGA whose name I misspelled last week in reporting his renewed partnership with former colleague KATHLEEN JOHNSTON at Indiana University.

Friday, October 19, 2018 UPDATE:

There’s a second news director opening in Indianapolis to report.

Hostetter

KATHY HOSTETTER, who’s been the ND for Dispatch’s WTHR-TV, is leaving that NBC affiliate to become ND for KDKA-TV in Pittsburgh, the CBS o-and-o in the Steel City.

Kathy’s been ND here for about 5 1/2 years, coming from WAVE-TV in Louisville. She’s also been an ND in Norfolk and Ft. Wayne, and has worked in San Jose/San Francisco and Grand Rapids, MI.

Her departure creates the second ND opening in the market, as KERRI CAVANAUGH left WTTV-WXIN-TV (Tribune’s CBS/FOX duopoly) last week for a consulting job with Magid.

I hope to have more on this story in our full newsletter later this weekend.

Tuesday, October 16, 2018 UPDATE #2:

A rare second UPDATE in less than an hour brings news of the promotion of a longtime news director to a general manager’s job, always something we like to see in this corner.

McClain

MIKE McCLAIN, who’s been the ND for FOX’s WAGA-TV in Atlanta for eight years has been named GM of the company’s WJZY-WMYT-TV in Charlotte.   Full details in this news release.

Mike earlier spent two years as ND for FOX’s WTVT-TV in Tampa and six years as ND for another FOX owned station, WBRC-TV in Birmingham.

That’s where he began his career as a news photographer before working his way up the ranks.

He replaces KIERAN CLARKE who has left the station.

Congrats, Mike!

More in our full newsletter later this weekend.

Rick Gevers

Tuesday, October 16, 2018 UPDATE:

Greetings:

Two items, including an obituary for a longtime news director, in today’s UPDATE.

Carter

CHUCK CARTER returns to WTNH-TV in New Haven/Hartford (Nexstar/ABC) as ND. It’s his third tour of duty at the station. He’d been the Assistant ND at WTNH until June, when he returned to Philadelphia as Executive Producer for Fox’s WTXF-TV. The move reunites him with GM RICH GRAZIANO. They’ve worked together at both WTIC-TV in Hartford and WPIX-TV in New York.

Here’s the news release.

Chuck’s complete work history is on his Linkedin page. He replaces KEITH CONNORS who left in July to become ND for WFSB-TV, the Meredith owned CBS affiliate in Hartford.

Bradley

And details are sketchy at this writing, but I’m sorry to report the death this morning of retired news director DON BRADLEY (real name: DON BURIAN). Don’s a former news director in Hartford, Ft. Wayne, Waco, and Victoria, TX, and worked in Memphis, St. Louis, and Louisville.

With I get more information, I will add it here and include it in the full newsletter this weekend.

regards,

Rick Gevers

Greetings:

It’s another week of relatively few changes among the news director ranks.

We have just TWO newly named NDs…and for one, it’s a rare instance where she is replacing…drum roll please…herself!

No new openings as best as I know, so our list of open ND positions drops to 30.

We do have a few interesting items in Names in the News, a late obituary for a former Denver, Hartford, and Indianapolis GM, and the retirement of a former ND who’s been anchor for one Wisconsin station for more than 24 years.

All that and more…below.

Newly Named News Directors: 

Lyons

WGN-TV, Chicago, IL…we told you on Tuesday that JENNIFER LYONS was returning to this Tribune owned station, replacing herself. Jennifer left in August for a job outside of television, but decided her heart was in news. Chicago media writer ROBERT FEDER has the full story, including the memo GM PAUL RENNIE sent to his staff.

Editor’s note: When we first reported this, I commented that it had happened before but couldn’t remember a specific incident. A loyal reader reminded me that BRAD REMINGTON left KTVI-TV in St. Louis for the ND job at KATU-TV in Portland, OR, in 2001 before returning to KTVI…thus replacing himself…four days later.

Spectrum News Wisconsin, Milwaukee, WI…DIANE IRVING will be the first news director for this startup cable news operation. She’s spent the last 23 years working for Milwaukee’s WTMJ-TV in a variety of roles, including Assistant News Director, and, most recently, Broadcast Director.

Obituary:

Bacon

We’re late in reporting the death last March of ROD BACON, who served as GM of stations in Denver, New Haven and Indianapolis. He also worked in many other markets in a variety of jobs, as you’ll learn in this detailed obituary.

Also, in reporting the death of BLAKE KELLOGG last week, we erred in reporting the station for which he had been an ND and anchor. It was WKOW-TV in Madison, WI, not WISC-TV. Apologies.

Names in the News (and other items):

Johnston

KATHLEEN JOHNSTON has joined Indiana Univeristy as a visiting professor of practice. She’s worked for CBS News, CNN, WTHR-TV in Indianapolis as well at two Indianapolis newspapers, primarily as an investigative producer and reporter. The move reunites her with former colleague GERRY LANOSGA: they worked together first at an Indianapolis newspaper before moving to television together. They will develop the IU Media School’s investigative reporting curriculum.

Milbourn

TOM MILBOURN, who’s anchored for WLUK-TV in Green Bay for 24 years is retiring next month. He’s worked in Green Bay for more than 30 years, and previously served as an anchor and news director in Madison, WI, Lansing, MI, and Champaign, IL.

General Manager News and Notes:

Wright

MIKE WRIGHT, who was GM of both KWTX-TV in Bryan, TX, and KBTX-TV in Waco, has left those Gray Television stations. Details from the local newspaper, where you will learn the he once anchored the station’s morning show while also serving as national sales manager.

October 7, 2018

Tuesday, October 9, 2018 UPDATE:

Greetings:

I’m sure this has happened before, but I can’t remember an exact instance to share with you.

The new news director at Chicago’s WGN-TV is JENNIFER LYONS, who replaces…herself as news director for this Tribune owned station.

That’s right…Jennifer, who left her job in August after four years as ND and 25 at the station…will return on Thursday. The details are in this story by Chicago media writer ROBERT FEDER. GM PAUL RENNIE‘s note to the staff is included.

Jennifer left to become VP/Communications and External Relations for Catholic Extension, which supports and strengthens poor mission dioceses nationwide. Feder quotes her as saying she will continue to support the organization’s mission, but she quickly knew her heart was in news.

She’s also worked in Des Moines and Davenport, IA.

We’ll have more on this and all the week’s new in our full newsletter this weekend.

regards,

Rick Gevers

Greetings:

It’s an unfortunate week when we have more obituaries (FIVE) than news director movements (ONE).

That one change is a new news director in Las Vegas, and causes our list of open ND jobs to drop to 31. And we have a new paid ad for ONE of those jobs.

Those five obituaries are below, and included a current Missouri assignment editor, three retired news people, two of them former news directors, and the wife of a longtime news director.

There are TWO items about General Managers, one about a San Francisco GM who’s retiring and the other one getting a promotion.

And our only item in Names in the News involves a former ND and GM who’s moving to print.

All those stories and more below!

Newly Named News Directors: 

Wheatley

KSNV-TV, Las Vegas, NV…STEPHANIE WHEATLEY has been promoted to ND for this Sinclair Broadcasting owned NBC affiliate. She’s been the Assistant ND and replaces MARK NEERMAN who left to become ND for KPIX-TV in San Francisco earlier this summer. Stephanie earlier worked at KVVU-TV in Las Vegas, beginning as a tape editor and working her way up to EP. She took a short break from the business before joining KSNV in 2015.

New News Director Openings: 

There are no new openings this week (to my knowledge) but we do have a new Paid Help Wanted ad for the ND job at WTTV/WXIN-TV here in Indianapolis. That’s just below.
