Saturday, December 7, 2019 UPDATE:

THREE top 30 market news director departures…and a top 35 ND addition…in this brief UPDATE.

Waggoner

The newest happened today as MATT WAGGONER was named ND for Scripps’ KSHB-TV (NBC) in Kansas City. That means he’s leaving Nexstar’s WTTV/WXIN-TV (CBS/FOX) after just one year as news director and shortly after the ownership change from Tribune to Nexstar. Here’s the memo from KSHB General Manager KATHLEEN CHOAL.

Parcell

Earlier this week it was announced that MATT PARCELL is retiring after 7+ years as ND for WFTV in Orlando. That ABC affiliate is part of the pending Cox-Apollo deal. Orlando Sentinel TV writer HAL BOEDEKER has more. Matt”s been the ND there since 2012 and has worked at the station since 1997.

Finally, MIKE TOMKO is leaving Sinclair’s WBFF-TV in Baltimore at the end of the year for a job outside of television. He’s been the ND there since 2012, and first joined that FOX affiliate in 2002 as an EP. (For a one time MMJ, he appears to be camera-shy: I could not find a photo.) 🙂

We’ll have more on those changes and lots of other news in our full newsletter later this weekend.

Greetings:

I hope your Thanksgiving was relaxing and all you hoped it to be.

It was a good week for THREE people named to new ND jobs this week. ALL of them were promoted at their current stations. And we have just ONE new opening, bringing our list of open ND jobs to 25.

ONE of those openings is among our TWO paid help wanted ads this week.

There are TWO obituaries, one for a long ago South Carolina news director and anchor, and we have more details on the death of a longtime big market general manager.

Speaking of general managers, we’ll tell you about a former ND and news executive who is leaving her job as a GM in North Carolina. And we have TWO items in Names in the News, both involving former news directors.

Have a great week.

Newly Named News Directors: 

Nickels

WBNS-TV, Columbus, OH…we first told you that Columbus native JENNIFER NICKELS has been promoted to ND for this Tegna owned CBS affiliate earlier this week. She has been the Assistant ND there since September 2016 and served as the interim ND since STEVE KOLES left in March after eight months. (He’s now the ND at WROC-TV in Rochester, NY. Jen has also worked in Louisville, Cleveland, Cincinnati, and Columbia, MO.

Achladis

Also at WBNS, TED ACHLADIS has been named Director of Digital Content, coming from a similar role at WFXT-TV (FOX) in Boston. Ted spent much of his career in Ohio, working at three stations in Cleveland and in Youngstown, He’s also worked in New York and Syracuse, where he began his career as a photographer, reporter and sports anchor.

Weinrich

WSIL-TV, Carterville, IL…another promotion finds JEFF WEINRICH ascending to the news director job for this Quincy Media owned ABC affiliate. He’s been here for eleven years, and served most recently as the Assistant ND and interim ND since MIKE SNUFFER left in August after 16 years as ND. Jeff’s also worked in Columbia, MO where he was graduated from the University of Missouri.

WABI-TV, Bangor, ME…lots of changes at this Gray Television owned CBS affiliate. JIM MORRIS who’s been ND and anchor since 2000 is retiring. JON SMALL will replace him as ND, and CATHERINE PEGRAM will replace him as the Assistant ND. Both Jon and Catherine will continue their anchor roles. The full story, with more background on Morris’ career, is here.

New News Director Openings: 

Broadway

KIDY/KXVA-TV, San Angelo/Abilene, TX…these Tegna owned stations have posted a job for news director. Both stations are FOX affiliates. My records show that CODY BROADWAY has been the ND there since March, 2018, when he moved from sister Tegna-station KUSA-TV in Denver where he worked as a ‘visual producer’.

November 26, 2019 UPDATE:

Greetings:

Two news manager promotions at a central Ohio station to share.

Nickels

At Tegna’s WBNS-TV (CBS) in Columbus, JENNIFER NICKELS has been promoted to news director. A Columbus native, Jen has been the Assistant ND there since September 2016 and served as the interim ND since STEVE KOLES left in March after eight months. (The delay in hiring could be attributed to the sale from Dispatch Broadcasting to Tegna which closed this summer.)

Jen has also worked in Louisville, Cleveland, Cincinnati, and Columbia, MO.

Achladis

Also at WBNS, TED ACHLADIS has been named Director of Digital Content, He’s been working at WFXT-TV (FOX) in Boston, but has spent much of his career in Ohio, working at three stations in Cleveland and in Youngstown, He’s also worked in New York and Syracuse, where he began his career as a photographer, reporter and sports anchor.

We plan on publishing this weekend so we’ll see you Sunday with a full report.

regards,

gevers

**** ***** ****

Greetings:

Considering there’s still a few days left in the rating book, there’s a lot of activity this week.

Like FOUR new news directors, and THREE new ND openings.

That means our list of open ND jobs moves to 26. And I anticipate at least ONE new ND job to be filled this week.

There are THREE paid help wanted ads, including ONE for one of those open ND jobs, another for an EP job at a large market investigative unit, and ONE for an Assistant ND job at an Iowa station.

We have an very brief obituary for a former Houston and Sacramento GM. In Names in the News, a promotion to a corporate job at Nexstar, and we’ll tell you about a scholarship fund in honor of a beloved Florida anchor.

We’re getting a new GM in Indianapolis and a quick promotion in Boston for an NBC exec.

All that and more below.

Newly Named News Directors: 

Hill-Rodriguez

KTTV/KCOP-TV, Los Angeles, CA…sometimes things just work out, as they did for ERICA-HILL RODRIGUEZ. She resigned as ND for KCPQ-TV in Seattle to move (without a job) to Los Angeles to be closer to her wife. And this week she became the new ND for the FOX-owned duopoly. Erica spent 12 years in her second stint at KCPQ, rejoining the station as managing editor, then AND, before being named ND in 2013. She’s also worked in Chicago and Boise. KCPQ posted this article on leadership lessons they learned from her…and that you could, too. At KTTV, she replaces KRIS KNUTSEN (a 30 year veteran of the market) who left in August after three years as ND.

McNamara

WDAF-TV, Kansas City, MO…our UPDATE Tuesday told you that SEAN McNAMARA would be the next ND for this Nexstar FOX affiliate. Sean’s been the Assistant ND for Graham Media’s WKMG-TV (CBS) in Orlando since 2011. He’s been an ND three times before and began his career in newspapers.

Because we are ON YOUR SIDE and/or LOOKING OUT FOR YOU and/or COVERAGE YOU CAN COUNT ON (I’ll stop now), we have thoughtfully combined the memos from WDAF GM TRACY BROGDEN-MILLER and the memo from ALLISON McGINLEY, the ND at WKMG into one easy to click link. Sean replaces DANA McDANIEL who left this summer to become ND for KFMB-TV in San Diego.

Lee

WFRV-TV, Green Bay, WI…that Tuesday UPDATE also reported that DAVID LEE would be the new ND for this Nexstar owned CBS affiliate. David most recently was the news director for WTXL-TV in Tallahassee, FL, where he worked for THREE owners in just 5 1/2 years at that ABC affiliate. David began his career on-air before moving to management. He replaces KELLY PATTERSON who stepped down in September for family reasons after nine months as ND. She had also been an EP there.

Sherer

WWAY-TV, Wilmington, NC…the last item in Tuesday’s UPDATE acknowledged that we were late in telling you that BRANDON SHERER has been the ND here since October. WWAY is an ABC/CBS/CW operation owned by Morris Multimedia. Brandon most recently was the ND for Spectrum Central North Carolina, spent 13 years as the Assistant ND for WTVD-TV in Raleigh and was once an ND in Cape Girardeau, MO. At WWAY, he replaces KEVIN WUZZARDO who is now Managing Editor for WHBQ-TV in Memphis.

New News Director Openings: 

Haggar

KLKN-TV, Lincoln, NE…MARK HAGGAR has left this Standard Media owned ABC affiliate after a remarkable 22 year run as news director. Standard Media acquired the station this summer and installed a new GM, which brings to mind this wise counsel shared by a loyal reader a few weeks ago:

30 days hath September, April, and any sitting ND who gets a new GM.

Sadiwskyj

WTVY-TV, Dothan, AL…LENA SADIWSKYJ has left this Gray TV owned CBS affiliate as her two year contract expired. She told me she’s hoping to announce her next move soon. She’s been an ND in Knoxville, Orlando, Tucson, Shreveport, has worked in Dallas, Phoenix, Birmingham, as well as Toronto and Halifax in her native Canada. Lena also taught at the University of Missouri School of Journalism. Her complete background is on her Linkedin page.

Thompson

WCAV-TV, Charlottesville, VA…VAL THOMPSON has resigned as news director for this Lockwood Broadcast Group CBS affiliate. Val’s been the ND there since December, 2014, and first joined the station in 2012. He’s also worked in Chicago, as an anchor in Harrisonburg, Va., and a reporter in Salt Lake City. You can learn more about this opportunity in the paid help wanted ad below.

Another Nexstar vacancy has been filled as DAVID LEE moves from sunny Florida to chilly Green Bay, where he’ll be the next news director for WFRV-TV (CBS). David most recently was the news director for WTXL-TV in Tallahassee, FL, where he had THREE owners in just 5 1/2 years at that ABC affiliate.  David began his career on-air before moving to management.

Sherer

Finally, we’re a little tardy in telling you that BRANDON SHERER started in October as the new ND for Morris Multimedia’s WWAY-TV (ABC/CBS/CW) in Wilmington, NC. He most recently was the ND for Spectrum’s Central North Carolina operation, and spent 13 years as the Assistant ND for WTVD-TV in Raleigh. Earlier in his career he was an ND in Cape Girardeau, MO.

I expect at least TWO more announcements this week and will bring them to you then.

regards,

Rick Gevers

Greetings:

There’s just ONE new news director named this week, but we’re taking FOUR stations off our list of stations with open ND jobs. (You can read on to find out why.)

And there are THREE new ND openings.

All those changes reduce our list of open ND jobs to 25.

Some interesting items in Names in the News, including some new news managers in Indianapolis, an honor for a longtime Vermont newsman (and one-time news director) and we’ll tell you how eating 2,000 chicken wings led to a big weight loss for one news director.

And there’s one GM on his way out of his job after 22 years at the same Oklahoma station.

All that and more below.

Newly Named News Directors: 

Giesler

WJFW-TV, Rhinelander, WI…JERRY GIESLER is (as he told me) coming out of retirement to become the next ND for this Rockfleet Broadcasing NBC affiliate. He was encouraged to take the job by his former Magid colleague JOHN QUARDERER. John now serves as an advisor to the station after six years as ND there following 20+ years working for Magid. Jerry’s last gig was in Missoula, MT, but his background is wide and varied as his Linkedin page will attest. He replaces LANE KIMBLE. Lane left this summer to become the Assistant ND for KYTV in Springfield, MO.

We are removing the following stations from our list of ND Openings below:

WDAF-TV (FOX), Kansas City, MO. We expect an announcement there this week.
WFRV-TV (CBS), Green Bay, WI. We also expect an announcement there this week.
KVII-TV (ABC), Amarillo, TX. Our listing was wrong. The job is for a newscast director.

New News Director Openings: 

Pederson

KTVE/KARD-TV, Monroe, LA…the search is on for a new news director here. KARD is a FOX affiliate owned by Nexstar, which operates Mission Broadcasting owned KTVE (NBC). ANDY PEDERSON has decided not to renew his contract and will leave when it expires. He’s been the ND here since February, 2017 and spent most of his career as a photographer. Andy’s station bio has much more.

Warner

KSWO-KAUZ-TV, Lawton, OK/Wichita Falls, TX…JAMES WARNER is off to Florida to become the Assistant ND for WOFL-TV, the FOX o-and-o. This is his second tour of duty for this operation. KSWO (ABC) is owned by Gray while, KAUZ (CBS) is owned by American Spirit Media which has an SSA with Gray. He’s also been an ND in Ft. Smith, AR, and Charleston, SC, and worked in Seattle.

Plyler

WDTV, Clarksburg, WV…ADAM PLYLER is moving from one Gray TV owned station to another as he joins WSAZ-TV in Huntington, WV, as Assistant ND. He’s been ND here since the summer of 2016. More details in this story from his alma mater. It’s Adam’s second time at WSAZ. He’s also worked in another station in the market and in Kingsport, TN.

Names in the News (and other items):

A number of management changes at WISH-TV (CW) here in Indianapolis, including an internal promotion to Assistant ND for a longtime Indianapolis newsman, and two new managers to the station. It’s all detailed in this news release.

Vetscher

TIM VETSCHER joins Scripps’ WTMJ-TV (NBC) in Milwaukee as editorial director. No, he won’t do editorials but will oversee the station’s daily content. His first job was as a sports producer for WDJT-TV in Milwaukee. Most recently he was Senior Producer of In-Depth & Investigative Reports for KSTP-TV in Minneapolis. There have been a number of stops in between, as you’ll see here.

Ledbetter

Congratulation to one-time WPTZ-TV (Burlington, VT) News Director STEWART LEDBETTER on his upcoming induction into the Vermont Association of Broadcasters’ Hall of Fame in December. Stewart’s a 35 year veteran of this NBC affiliate who spent most of the 90’s as ND there. He gave up the big office (okay, I’m assuming it a big office) to return to the street and anchor desk for the station. His station profile has more.

CHRIS BEST, news director for Nexstar’s WKRG-TV (CBS) in Mobile, has found an unusual route to an impressive weight loss. It involves about 2,000 chicken wings. More here.

General Manager News and Notes:

PAT BALDWIN is leaving Sinclair’s KTUL-TV in Tulsa at the end of the year. He’s been the GM for this ABC affiliate since 1997 and earlier worked in sales management in Little Rock.

Greetings:

We have TWO new news directors to tell you about this week, with ONE new opening.

That means 26 stations are on our list of stations with open ND jobs.

TWO of those openings are among our THREE paid help wanted ads below.

In Names in the News, a new job for a former West Virginia ND, a new executive director for SPJ, and a new book from an IU professor with a unique claim to fame.

Finally, clearly I failed in my mission last week, so as you read the rest of the newsletter, I will continue to search for a new kicker for the Indianapolis Colts.

Newly Named News Directors:

Matt, a Marine Corp veteran, has also worked in Baton Rouge and Montgomery. He replaces ASHLEY TALLEY who left to become Enterprise Executive Producer for WRAL-TV in September after 4+ years as ND at WMBF.

Armstead

WWVA-TV, Bluefield, WV…WES ARMSTEAD is the new news director for this Quincy Media owned NBC affiliate. He’s spent the last nine years as the Assignment Manager for WCHS-TV in Charleston, WV. Wes succeeds the late KEN WHITE who stepped down as ND last August to concentrate on his cancer battle, a fight he lost in early October.

New News Director Opening: 

Fitzgerald

KJRH-TV, Tulsa, OK…this Scripps owned NBC affiliate is on the hunt for a new news director following the departure of SCOTT FITZGERALD. He was ND here for less than a year after spending two years as ND in Reno, NV. His replacement will ne the fourth ND here in less than three years.

Levy

GRENDEL LEVY is now working for Hearst’s WDSU-TV in her hometown of New Orleans as a special project producer. She most recently had been the ND for WOWK-TV in Charleston/Huntington, WV. Grendel’s also been an ND in Boise, and has previously worked in New Orleans, Baton Rouge, and Biloxi.

Conway

And old friend MIKE CONWAY has a new book out. Mike’s a former ND now teaching at Indiana University. The book is called Contested Ground. It looks at NBC’s 1962 broadcast, “The Tunnel,” a controversial documentary that Conway says solidified television journalism’s place in the communication domain. Learn more about it here.

By the way, a fun fact: Mike was one of the first two people to get a weekly email from me about job openings, an email which morphed (over the years) to this publication.

General Manager News and Notes:

JORGE CARBALLO, GM for the Telemundo station in Miami, WSCV-TV, adds additional responsibility as GM for NBC o-and-o WTVJ-TV. More here.

Lawrence

Nexstar has promoted KENNY LAWRENCE to general manager for WSPA-TV in Spartanburg, SC. He’s been the GM for the company’s WJHL-TV in the Tri-Cities market of Tennessee. It’s the Nexstar hat trick for Lawrence, who earlier had been GM for KLFY-TV in Lafayette, LA.

One correction from last week in our mention of new GMs for two Gray Television stations. We reported that MARK GENTNER had been named General Manager for WITN-TV in Greenville-New Bern, NC. In fact, Mark is retiring as GM and being replaced by RON HENSLEE as you’ll read here. Apologies to Ron and to Mark.
