Tuesday, February 19, 2013 UPDATE:

Doerr

Veteran broadcaster TOM DOERR starts Monday as the next news director for WFLD-TV, the FOX o-and-o in Chicago. Tom’s been the ND for FOX’s KRIV-TV in Houston since 2009. Here’s his bio.  He’s also been an ND in several other markets, a station manager in Miami, and also worked for AR&D.

In Chicago, he replaces PHYLLIS SCHWARTZ who left the station in December after less than a year on the job. Tom is the station’s fourth news director in the last 4+ years.

More on this story and all the news in our full report later this week.

regards,

Rick Gevers

Sunday, February 17, 2013 UPDATE:

A memorial service may be held at a later date for JEFF RAKER, the News Director of WTVY-TV in Dothan, AL.  We told you earlier that Jeff collapsed on Friday and was pronounced dead at a local hospital.  He was 56.

A Dothan funeral home provided me with this obituary which includes memorial information.

regards,

Rick Gevers

Greetings:

Sadly, we begin this week with the obituary of a longtime news director.

Jeff Raker

JEFF RAKER, ND of WTVY-TV in Dothan, AL, collapsed at the station this morning and was pronounced dead at a local hospital. Jeff is survived by his wife, Darcy, and two children. I believe he was in his early 50’s.

Jeff was in his second stint as ND at this CBS affiliate, returning last April. He’d previously been the ND there from 1997-1999. He also served as a news director in Sioux City, IA, Youngstown, OH, and Jefferson City, MO. Jeff began his career as a photographer and worked in Charlotte, Las Vegas, Huntsville, Wichita, and Toledo.

As of this writing, funeral arrangements have not been released. When they are, I’ll update this space.

**** ***** ****
On to our normal business. This week, we have TWO new ND openings and THREE newly hired news directors. That brings our list of openings to 25.

We have an ad for one of those ND openings, as well as ads for management positions in Phoenix and on the East Coast.

In our free situations wanted column, a former newsman wants back into the business.

And in Names in the News, a new President of Local Broadcasting for a major group owner, a new news manager in Florida, and a longtime news director on the mend from surgery.

All that, and more, if you merely read on!
