March 22, 2020

Greetings:

As you might imagine in this unusual time, there was no movement among news managers and general managers this week.

To my knowledge, NO news directors changed jobs this week. Our count of open positions remains at 33.

I do want to correct an error in last week’s newsletter. In reporting BRIDGET FARGEN’s new job as ND for WSAW-TV in Wausau, WI, we incorrectly reported her current station. She’s been the evening anchor at KOLN-TV in Lincoln, NE. Apologies.

We do have THREE items in Names in the News, TWO paid help wanted ads, and NO obituaries or GMs on the move.

Please stay healthy and continue to do the important work of keeping your communities informed.

We’ll be back next week and let’s all hope for a quick return to what will likely be a new normal.

March 15, 2020

Greetings:

FOUR people landed new news director jobs this week, and, as far as I know, there’s just ONE new opening.

That means there are, by my count, 33 stations looking for a new news director.

We have TWO paid help wanted ads, both from a station in West Virginia.

There’s ONE obit for a longtime Texas news manager, TWO GMs on the move, and just TWO items in Names in the News…and I’m embarrassed to say one of them is a correction.

Are you short staffed these days? Use Stringr to help procure video. Check out their ad below.

Newly Named News Directors:

King

King

WGCL-TV, Atlanta, GA…our UPDATE Thursday told you that MATT KING would be returning to Atlanta as the next news director for this Meredith owned CBS affiliate. We shared just last week that Matt was leaving Tegna’s WCNC-TV (NBC) in Charlotte after five years as ND. He’s also worked in Tampa, Washington, and as a sports director in Chattanooga. At WGCL, he replaces STEVE DOERR who was promoted to GM for Meredith’s Springfield, MA, cluster.

Fargen

Fargen

WSAW-TV, Wausau, WI…congratulations to BRIDGET FARGEN who transfers within Gray Television to become the news director at this CBS affiliate. Since 2012, Bridget has been the evening anchor at KLKN-TV KOLN-TV in Lincoln, NE. Added bonus for Bridget: she’s from Wisconsin as you’ll learn in this farewell story from the Lincoln newspaper. She replaces SARAH GRAY who left a few months ago to become ND for WISC-TV in Madison, WI.

Baxley

Baxley

WDHN-TV, Dothan, AL…DAVID BAXLEY has been named news director for this Nexstar owned ABC affiliate. He’s currently teaching at Francis Marion Univeristy in Florence, SC. But he’s worked in TV markets both large and small, as his Linkedin page will attest. At WDHN, David replaces BEN STANFIELD who was both ND and anchor. Ben left in January to become the morning anchor at WTVM-TV in Columbus, GA.

Conner

Conner

WDTV, Clarksburg/Bridgeport, WV…KEITH “KC” CONNER is the new news director for this Gray Television owned CBS affiliate. KC is a former ND at WOAY-TV in Oak Hill, WV. He most recently worked as the managing editor for WNWO-TV in Toledo and has also worked in Cincinnati, Charlotte and Knoxville. He replaced JOHN EHRHART who started there last November. John’s Linkedin page now shows him as retired.

Obituary:

Manning

Manning

Our sympathy to the staff at Dallas’ WFAA-TV on the death of the station’s managing editor, ALLEN MANNING. Allen died suddenly Tuesday at the age of 57. He spent two years as WFAA, which produced this story on him. And he spent almost 20 years at KTVT-TV in Dallas, which remembered him here. He’d earlier worked at KDFW-TV in Dallas, in Houston, and in Midland, TX.

Names in the News (and other items):

ALBERT STICHKA joins WCPO-TV (ABC) in Cincinnati as Content Manager/EP. That’s an internal promotion for Albert, who was an EP at WTVR-TV, the Scripps station in Richmond, VA. He’s also worked in Charleston, SC, and in San Diego.

Last week’s report on MARK ZONCA‘s move from Chicago to Florida had both his wrong destination and wrong station. Mark’s actually going to Tampa’s WFTS-TV where he’s been hired as the Assistant ND at that Scripps owned ABC affiliate.. Mark’s been the morning EP for Fox’s WFLD-TV and has worked for several stations in Chicago and earlier in Tampa.

General Manager News and Notes:

Grandy

Grandy

You know already from our Monday UPDATE that BYRON GRANDY is returning to Denver as GM for Nexstar’s KDVR/KWGN-TV. Details in this news release. Bryon’s spent the last three years as GM of Nexstar’s Raleigh NBC affiliate, WNCN-TV. But he’s a former GM and ND for KMGH-TV in Denver. He’s had two other ND jobs, worked as a consultant for Broadcast Image, and began as a reporter in Bryan and Amarillo, TX and Milwaukee before moving into management as an EP in Jackson, MS.

Thomas

Thomas

ROBBY THOMAS is the new general manager for WTVY-TV in Dothan, AL. It’s a move within Gray Television. He’s spent the five years as marketing director for Gray’s WBTV in Charlotte and also served as marketing director for WNCN-TV in Raleigh. Robby began his career as an MMJ in Panama City, FL. He also worked outside of TV in a marketing job.

Thursday, March 12, 2020 UPDATE:

Greetings:

Two items for you this morning, one of good news and the other very sad.

King

King

MATT KING is returning to Atlanta as news director for Meredith’s WGCL-TV (CBS). Here’s the news release.

We told you last week that Matt was leaving his previous job as ND for WCNC-TV (Tegna/NBC) in Charlotte where he’d spent the past five years. He previously worked for Tegna/Gannett stations in Washington, Atlanta, and Tampa.

At WGCL, he replaces STEVE DOERR who was promoted to GM for the company’s Springfield, MA, operation.

Manning

Manning

Sadly, today brings news of the passing of longtime Texas newsman ALLEN MANNING who died suddenly Tuesday morning. He was 57.

Allen died just two days short of his second anniversary as Managing Editor for Tegna’s WFAA-TV in Dallas. He spent more than 20 years on the desk at KDFW-TV KTVT-TV in Dallas and had also worked in Houston and Midland.

His most recent station, WFAA, paid tribute to him in a story which paid homage to Allen’s love of poetry. And his longtime home, KTVT, aired this tribute.

Kudos to both stations, which mentioned that Allen had worked at a competitor and mentioned those stations by name, as opposed to “another station in town” which, in my view, stations do far too often.

Our sympathy to Allen’s wife and his co-workers at both stations.

regards,

 

Rick Gevers

Wednesday, March 11, 2020 UPDATE:

Wow.

The NAB has decided to postpone its annual April show in Las Vegas.

More here.

Monday, March 9, 2020 UPDATE:

A former Denver news director turned GM returns to Denver as GM of a Nexstar duopoly.

Grandy

Grandy

BYRON GRANDY will be the next GM for KDVR-KWGN-TV, the FOX/CW duopoly in Denver. He’s spent the last three years as GM of Nexstar’s Raleigh NBC affiliate, WNCN-TV.

More in this news release.

Byron spent much of his career in Denver, first as ND and then GM of KMGH-TV (ABC). He’s a former ND in San Antonio and Augusta, GA, worked as a consultant for Broadcast Image, and began as a reporter in Bryan and Amarillo, TX and Milwaukee before moving into management as an EP in Jackson, MS.

Barrett

Barrett

In Denver, he replaces another ND turned GM, JOAN BARRETT, who is replacing Byron in the North Carolina headcount as she has taken a job as GM for Tegna’s WCNC-TV in Charlotte.

One more item: We erred in our most recent full newsletter in reporting MARK ZONCA’s new job. We told you he was leaving Chicago for Florida, which was correct. But we had the wrong destination: he’ll be the new Assistant ND for Scripps’ WFTS-TV in Tampa. Apologies to Mark and the stations involved.

More in our complete newsletter this weekend.

regards,

Rick Gevers

Greetings:

Welcome to your free weekly newsletter covering changes in news managers around the country.

We’ll tell you about THREE newly named NDs…and THREE new vacancies, one in a top 25 market.

That means there’s a slight increase as the number of open jobs on our list moves to 34.

For the second consecutive week, we have a new advertiser. It will appeal to any of you thinking of leaving TV but are nervous about making the jump. Former Minneapolis and Louisville news director MARIA REITAN did it, and she can help you make the decision. Check out her ad just below.

It’s a bit of a slow news week…just TWO items in Names in the News and ONE GM change.

Keep reading to learn more.

WCNC-TV, Charlotte, NC…MATT KING is apparently leaving this NBC affiliate since the job is posted on the Tegna website. (I reached out to Matt but did not hear back.) His departure comes as a new GM, JOAN BARRETT, is on the way. Matt’s been the ND here for about five years. He previously worked for Tegna/Gannett stations in Washington, Atlanta, and Tampa. Matt’s a former sports director in Chattanooga.

(As you likely know, KOMU is an NBC affiliate owned by the University of Missouri and largely staffed by students from the School of Journalism.) Randy posted this on social media, and told me it the move will allow him to spend more time teaching. He’s worked here for 17 years in a variety of roles, the last 5 1/2 as news director. Randy also worked in Grand Rapids, MI, and Monterey/Salinas, CA.

Ackermann

He’s a former VP/News for Raycom, was the founding news director for Belo’s now shuttered Texas Cable News. Steve was a news director in Cincinnati and spent more than 13 years at CBS News in a variety of roles.

KPLC-TV, Lake Charles, LA…as noted above, JENELLE SHRINER is moving to sister Gray station KOLD-TV in Tucson as ND after 3 1/2 years as ND for this NBC affiliate.
