Thursday, May 31, 2018 UDPATE:

Greetings:

It’s been a long time since we’ve done FOUR UPDATES in three days, but a new news director at a top ten market o-and-o warrants that.

Dobson

Dobson

WBTS-TV, the NBC owned station in Boston (and branded as NBC Boston) just named BEN DOBSON as its new news director. Ben is currently the ND for NBC’s Hartford station, WVIT-TV. He won’t have trouble finding the office: it’s in the same building as necn (New England Cable News) where Ben worked for two years before returning to WVIT as ND in 2016.

This news release from the station outlines his background and tells you more about the THREE news operations he’ll oversee there.

Ben replaces KENNY PLOTNIK who left the station in April.

Wednesday, May 30, 2018 UPDATE #2

A rare second UPDATE in one day involves filling one of the THREE news director openings at CBS o-and-o’s.

Dello Stritto

Dello Stritto

And it’s a return to Sacramento for MIKE DELLO STRITTO, who was announced as the new ND at KOVR/KMAX-TV a few minutes ago.

Mike, who’s currently the ND for Scripps’ KTNV-TV (ABC) in Las Vegas, spent more than 7 years at KOVR…first as a reporter, then managing editor, and then assistant ND. He later moved to CBS’s KPIX-TV in San Francisco as managing editor before taking his first ND job at KTNV almost three years ago.

His full background is on his Linkedin page.

Ironically, the man he is leaving Las Vegas to replace in Sacramento moved to Las Vegas for an ND job there. TOM BELL spent five years at KOVR before taking the ND job at Meredith’s KVVU-TV (FOX) earlier this month.

Looks like it might be a full newsletter this weekend!

CHAD MATTHEWS has been promoted to VP/News Director of WABC-TV in New York. He’s been the Assistant News Director since returning to the station last year, after five years as Assistant ND for NBC’s WTVJ-TV in Miami.

Before heading to Miami, Chad had spent 12 years at WABC in a variety of roles.

More on Chad and the station can be found here.

Tuesday, May 29, 2018 UPDATE:

A veteran CBS news director has announced his retirement after a remarkable 18 years running a top ten market newsroom.

Rosenheim

Rosenheim

DAN ROSENHEIM will retire July 7th as ND for CBS’s San Francisco station, KPIX-TV. And if 18 years at one large market station wasn’t amazing enough, it was preceded by four years as ND for KRON-TV, when it was still the NBC affiliate there. (This story from the archives covers that move.)

And all this from someone whose career started in newspapers, where he was Managing Editor of the San Francisco Chronicle (and city editor before that) when he switched to television. He also reported for two Chicago newspapers.

Dan sent me this note:

July 5 marks my 18th anniversary with the station. I am privileged – and very grateful — to have worked for CBS for this long, but it is time for me to step away. I am taking a long-scheduled vacation in early June but will return to the station to work three weeks before leaving for good.

More on this story and all the week’s news in our full newsletter later this weekend.

regards,

Rick Gevers

May 13, 2018

Greetings:

Another week of news director changes is in the books:

THREE new news directors to tell you about, with just ONE new opening…one created by a longtime news director moving to a corporate role.

So, our list of open ND jobs drops to 29.

We have TWO paid ads for executive producer openings in medium market stations.

A former RTDNA chair gives a graduation speech and is cheered with he pulls out some props. That story is below, along with a profile of the man who put New Orleans’ WDSU-TV on the air.  And Gray TV picks TWO industry vets to lead stations in cities which begin with the same letter.

(That’s a really weak tease, I know.)

Greetings:

We might have lacked for news director changes last week: not so much in this edition.

FOUR new news directors to tell you about, TWO new openings…one created by a longtime Ohio news director who’s moving to his former company in a corporate role.

Our list of open ND jobs is now at 30.

We have NO paid ads this week so we took the opportunity to explain how our ads can help you fill your vacant news management openings.

In Names in the News, honors for a former Nebraska ND, a veteran newsman retires after 17 years teaching, and we’ll look at why a broadcaster bought 110 newspapers.

There are TWO GM changes to share. A new GM for an Indiana cluster, and the retirement of a longtime newsman turned GM.

All that below after this ad from the Carole Kneeland Project.

Newly Named News Directors: 

Do you know someone who deserves a little Kneeland?

(Hint: it might be you.)

The Kneeland Project is accepting applications now for their September 5-8, 2018 session in Austin, Texas. Applications are due June 1 and are available at kneelandproject.org/apply

Thanks to Kneeland’s generous funders, this opportunity is nearly free for up to 20 selected news managers. The Kneeland Project pays for all tuition costs as well as hotel and several meals. Participants cover only their transportation and a few meals — Kneeland takes care of the rest.

In addition to tackling core Kneeland subjects like ethical leadership, time-saving strategies and results-driven digital ideas, we are covering race, religion and politics in our September session. You can’t miss this opportunity.

In a recent survey of Kneeland Fellows, 100% reported they still regularly use lessons learned at Kneeland, believe that time spent at Kneeland improved their career and said they have recommended Kneeland to a friend or colleague.

The Kneeland Project is an intensive program unlike any other. It’s practical. It’s highly interactive. It produces long-lasting results.

After 45 years in this wonderful industry, I am retiring at the end of May. My last day will be Friday, June 1.

I have been privileged to work for and with some of the brightest and the best. Going from film to digital, and all the steps in between has been an incredible journey. I wish I could thank each of you personally for making this one incredible ride.

Trading one temperature extreme for another, I will head back to the SoCal desert to our home in LaQuinta where I will see if I can rediscover how to hit a golf ball and then will head to Houston to be with my wonderful wife, family and grandchildren.
