Greetings:

Our report is delayed this week by holiday travel, and, as you might expect from a holiday-shortened week, is a little slow on ND movement.  We have ONE new ND to tell you about, with, to my knowledge, NO new openings.

History says that might change now that the rating period is over.

That one move means our list of open ND positions remains at 20.

We do have a rare ad for a General Manager position (for a network affiliate in a top 35 market).  There’s another ad for a corporate news management position for Nexstar Broadcasting, and two ads for a station expanding its digital presence in a gorgeous place to live.
