Wednesday, January 15, 2020 UPDATE:

Greetings:

A busy week for updates!

Big news from Nexstar today as the company announces it will launch a three hour prime time national newscast on its newly acquired WGN America. As you know, the company bought Tribune last fall and now owns WGN-TV in Chicago, and WGN America which is seen in 75 million homes.

Stasi

Lyons

The new newscast will be overseen by veteran WGN ND JENNIFER LYONS who’s been named VP/News for WGN America. She’ll be replaced as WGN-TV ND by DOMINICK STASI who’s been an EP at WGN for the past six years. He’s also worked at two other Chicago stations.

There are a lot more details in the company’s news release.

Who knows what the rest of the week will bring? Whatever it does, we’ll recap all this week’s news in our full newsletter this weekend.

regards,

gevers

Tuesday, January 14, 2020 UPDATE:

Greetings:

A first time news director will face a big challenges as she ascends to the ‘big chair’.

Wolfe

NICOLE WOLFE, currently the assistant news director for Scripps’s WFTS-TV (ABC) in Tampa-St. Petersburg, has been named ND for the company’s WSFL-TV in Ft. Lauderdale/Miami, where she’ll oversee a startup news operation there. The news came in this email from GM BILL SIEGEL.

Nicole has been at WFTS for just under a year, but has considerable experience in large markets. Her Linkedin page has her story.

We told you last month that Bill would be the GM for this CW affiliate. He spent the last four years as senior director of content strategy.

One other item: SHAYLA TEATER has been promoted to ND for Tegna’s KTHV-TV in Little Rock

More on both these stories in our full report this weekend.

regards,

gevers

Monday, January 13, 2020 UPDATE:

A new job for a veteran news executive.

Swenson

HELEN SWENSON has been named Vice President, Content for Spectrum News NY1, the 24 hour cable news operation in New York. Details in this news release from the company this morning.

Helen most recently was an Executive Producer for TEGNA, working primarily on talk shows. She’s a former general manager (WIAT-TV in Birmingham), news director (KIRO-TV in Seattle and WPEC-TV in West Palm Beach), a consultant for Magid, and also worked in Atlanta, Pittsburgh, Miami, and for the Weather Channel.

More in our full newsletter this weekend.

And…a slight correction to our obituary mention for former Indiana ND PHIL LENGYEL which we had in last night’s newsletter. He was ND for WSJV-TV which is in South Bend, IN, not Fort Wayne as I mistakenly told you last night. Apologies.

regards,

gevers

Greetings:

This edition of our newsletter may have more news than the last three or four combined.

There are THREE new news directors and TWO new ND openings, but both were created by people being promoted to new jobs inside their current companies.

That brings our always unofficial list of openings to 31, with ONE of those openings featured in a paid help wanted ad.

Speaking of ads, we welcome both Devlin Design Group AND Stephen Arnold Music back for 2020 as supporters of this effort. We also shared earlier that Stringr! is back for another year. We appreciate their support and I encourage you to check out their ads when you see them.

As I mentioned, lots of news in every section. TWO obituaries, one of a former group head and another for a former Indiana news director who went on to have a long career in marketing at Disney.

Some news managers on the move in our Names in the News section, and interesting other stories, including one about a consultant who uses neuroscience testing in his training. And several GM items including a promotion for a New Orleans GM.

All that and more below!

Newly Named News Directors:

Lewis

KGTV, San Diego, CA…in one of TWO ND jobs filled by Scripps this week (and reported to you in an UPDATE), DORIS LEWIS has been upped to ND here. GM LEON CLARK shared the news with the staff. Doris has worked there 20 years, having joined as producer in 2000, moved to EP in 2006 and assistant ND in 2015. Doris replaces ED CHAPUIS who was promoted to GM of sister-station KSBY-TV in San Luis Obispo, CA, last month.

Lopez

KJRH-TV, Tulsa, OK…and the second Scripps ND hire found GERARDO LOPEZ moving from Assistant ND at sister station KMGH-TV in Denver to this NBC affiliate. He’s been the interim ND here since SCOTT FITZGERALD left in November after less than a year as ND. Gerardo becomes the fourth ND in less than three years here. He’s worked in many major markets in news management jobs.

Snuffer

KLKN-TV, Lincoln, NE…MIKE SNUFFER has been named news director for this Standard Media owned ABC affiliate. Mike just finished 16 years as ND for WSIL-TV in Harrisburg, IL. Mike’s a former ND for KLBK/KAMC-TV in Lubbock and KCEN-TV in Temple, TX. At KLKN, he replaces MARK HAGGAR who left the station late last year after 16 years as ND.

New News Director Openings:

Doerr

WGCL-TV, Atlanta, GA…we told you earlier this week that veteran broadcaster STEVE DOERR would be leaving this Meredith owned CBS affiliate after 2 1/2 years as ND. He’s been promoted to GM for the company’s Springfield, MA, operation which is branded as Western Mass News, aka WGGB-TV (ABC), WGGB-2 (FOX) and WSHM-TV (CBS) in Springfield, MA. The full story in this news release from the company which fills in some of Steve’s varied background.

KREM-TV, Spokane, WA…after 24 years in the newsroom there, NOAH COOPER is moving to a new role with parent company Tegna. His last day as ND in this coming Friday and then he becomes Senior Content Recruiter. Noah tells me he will be focused on finding producers for all TEGNA stations.

Wednesday, January 8, 2020 UPDATE: 

Wordlaw

We have good news from Scripps about TWO filled ND openings, but first a very sad item from longtime broadcaster GARY WORDLAW.

My son was struck by a hit and run driver while crossing a street in Tulsa on December 30th. He has been on life support since then. He has undergone multiple surgeries but unfortunately will be paralyzed from the chest down if he survives his critical injuries.

The outpouring of love and support by my extended family of broadcast and print journalist has been overwhelming. I have read to him the many comments on social media, emails and text that have come from many of you. While devastated by this turn of events, my wife Marjoire and my children and I are eternally grateful for all the prayers offered in behalf of my son Gary Junior and the family.

THANK YOU ALL!

If you’d like to send Gary a note, please email me and I will share his email address with you.  I am reluctant to post it on a public website.

In happier news, at San Diego’s KGTV (ABC), DORIS LEWIS has been promoted to news director. Details in this staff memo from GM LEON CLARK. Doris is a 20+ year veteran of the station, having joined as producer in 2000. She became executive producer in 2006 and assistant ND in 2015. Doris replaces ED CHAPUIS who was promoted to GM of sister-station KSBY-TV in San Luis Obispo, CA, last month.

Fun fact. Doris has a law degree (from California Western School of Law) earned while working at the station.

The second new Scripps ND is also coming from within the company.

Lopez

GERARDO LOPEZ has been named the ND for the company’s KJRH-TV (NBC) in Tulsa. Gerardo has been the assistant news director for Scripps’ KMGH-TV in Denver for just over a year. He’s been the interim ND at KJRH since SCOTT FITZGERALD left in November after less than a year as ND. Gerardo becomes the fourth ND in less than three years here. He’s worked in many major markets in news management jobs, as you’ll learn by checking out his Linkedin page.

Congratulations to both Doris and Gerardo.

Our full newsletter this weekend will be more robust than the last two!

Tuesday, January 7, 2020 UPDATE:

Greetings:

Our first update of 2020 brings the kind of news we enjoy sharing with you: another newsman moves (returns?) to the GM chair.

  Doerr

This time it’s STEVE DOERR, currently the ND for Meredith’s WGCL-TV (CBS) in Atlanta. He’s off to sister Meredith operation Western Mass News, aka WGGB-TV (ABC), WGGB-2 (FOX) and WSHM-TV (CBS) in Springfield, MA.

The full story in this news release from the company.

That release includes some of Steve’s varied background in our industry, which includes previous GM jobs in markets ranging from Dallas to Savannah, and several corporate news management jobs.

He’s been ND in Atlanta for the past 2 1/2 years,

We’ll have more on Steve’s move and other developments in our first full newsletter for 2020 this weekend!

regards,

gevers

**** ***** ****
Greetings:

It’s not quite as slow as last week but I expect more news to share with you next week as the new year gets underway.

We have NO news director moves to share with you, so our count of open ND jobs remains at 32. There is ONE paid help wanted ad for one those jobs which you can find below.

We do, however, have some new listings in our our News Management Openings section, a few items in Names in the News and our GM section, where we’ll tell you about a veteran GM who is leaving his job to run for Mayor of his city.

That’s all below, following this message from the Carole Kneeland Project.

“Kneeland will exceed your expectations. Guaranteed.”

Start the New Year right.

Applications are due this (next) Friday for The Kneeland Project’s next session, which will be held March 4-7, 2020 in Austin, Texas.

Thanks to Kneeland’s generous funders, this opportunity is nearly free for selected participants. The Kneeland Project pays for all tuition costs as well as hotel and several meals.

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.

You’ll join this session’s faculty and other outstanding news managers to explore the exciting challenges that face our industry, and you’ll leave the program with a solid plan to guide your leadership decisions starting day one. This isn’t theoretical information that you will put on a shelf and neglect. Every participant will walk away with concrete action items to implement immediately that will make a difference in their newsroom…and their life.

It’s an intensive program unlike any other. It’s practical. It’s highly interactive. It produces long-lasting results. Journalists return to their stations refreshed and ready to tackle the sometimes overwhelming challenges newsrooms now face.

Click here for more information and to apply.

December 29, 2019

Greetings:

While I promised an update this weekend, it’s hard to deliver when, to the best of my knowledge, NOTHING happened this week in the world of news management changes.

Or GM changes.

Sadly, though, there were two deaths of young people in our business. While they are not news managers, the typical purview of this publication, I wanted to share them with you as it would be easy to miss the news over a holiday weekend.

McCord

You may have seen that CARLEY McCORD, a freelance sports reporter for WDSU-TV in New Orleans, was one of five victims of a plane crash in Lafayette, LA. Here’s how the station covered the accident. The plane was en route to Atlanta for the LSU-Oklahoma football game. Carley was the daughter in law of LSU offensive coordinator STEVE ENSMINGER.

Stroud

And our sympathy to the staff at WAFF-TV in Huntsville on the death of 31 year old reporter ALLEN STROUD who died Sunday afternoon. He fought stage 4 lung cancer for a year. In this obituary on the station’s website, you’ll learn that Allen followed a most unusual path to television news. Our sympathy to his family, friends, and co-workers at WAFF.

We’ll be back next weekend with a full report, hopefully with better news.

December 22, 2019

Greetings:

A very busy week…perhaps the reverse of the lull before the storm as we move into the holidays.

There are FOUR new news director openings, with TWO of those openings created by NDs taking new jobs. That leaves, by my count, 32 stations looking for a new news director.

TWO of those 32 openings are featured among our THREE Paid Help Wanted Ads below.

We have an obituary for a former Phoenix and Indianapolis General Manager.

In Names in the News, a 20+ year cable news operation is shutting down, while we’ll have a look at a relatively new one in Los Angeles. There’s an interview with the man in charge of the Black News Channel which launches in a few weeks. We’ll also tell you about a new Managing Editor in San Diego and the retirement of a longtime South Carolina newsman.

And there’s a larger than usual number of GM changes this week.

Please enjoy the holidays. I plan on publishing this week, though travel and spotty internet service may make that difficult.

Newly Named News Directors:

Gray

WISC-TV, Madison, WI…SARAH GRAY is moving down I-39 to become the next ND for this NBC affiliate. She’ll be only the FIFTH news director in the last 42 years for this Morgan Murphy owned station. Sarah has spent the last two years as ND for Gray’s WSAW-TV in Wausau, WI. At WISC, she replaces COLIN BENEDICT who’s stepping down after eleven years as ND to concentrate on his duties as the company’s VP of News.

Hamilton

KGAN-TV, Cedar Rapids, IA…KRISTEN HAMILTON moves within Sinclair to become the next news director for this CBS affiliate. She is coming from Sinclair’s KHQA-TV in Quincy. Details in this memo from KGAN GM GLEN CALLANAN. Kristen spent five years in Quincy, and has also worked in Indianapolis, Peoria, Savannah, and Springfield, MO. At KGAN, she replaces BECKY LUTGEN GARDNER. We told you in August that Becky was leaving but would stay until her replacement was found.

New News Director Openings:

WSFL-TV, Miami/Ft. Lauderdale, FL…this Scripps owned CW affiliate is looking for a news director to launch a news operation in 2021. Former news director and Scripps Director of Content Strategy BILL SIEGEL was named this week to be GM of that operation. (More on Bill’s appointment in our GM News section below.)

Samp

WOI-TV, Ames/Des Moines, IA…this Tegna owned ABC affiliate is looking for a news director to replace APRIL SAMP. April served more than five years as news director there, and she’s also been an ND in Norfolk, Cedar Rapids and Davenport, IA, and worked as an EP in Oklahoma City, and a producer in Kansas City.

KHQA-TV, Quincy, IL…we reported above that KRISTEN HAMILTON is leaving this CBS/ABC duopoly to become ND for sister Sinclair station KGAN-TV in Cedar Rapids, IA.

WSAW-TV, Wausau, WI…we also told you above that SARAH GRAY was headed to Madison to become ND for WISC-TV. She’s been ND here for just over two years and previously worked in Green Bay.

Obituary:

Stough

WILLIAM (BILL) STOUGH, who worked as a general manager in several markets including Phoenix, Indianapolis, and Ft. Wayne, died November 4th at the age of 83. More details in this obituary.

Names in the News (and other items):

Several items about the world of local cable news operations to share this week.

Nexstar has pulled the plug on one of the older operations, Chicago’s CLTV which the company acquired earlier this year in the Tribune acquisition. It started in January, 1993. ROBERT FEDER has more.

Though CLTV may be shutting down, a relatively new news operation is underway in Los Angeles. Here’s a look at Spectrum’s News 1, less than a year old.

Interested in learning more about the history of local news operations? Check out this master’s thesis from ELLIOTT WISER who began Tampa’s Bay News 9 in 1997.

Wordlaw

And speaking of creating a new news operation, The Black News Channel will launch in early January in more than 33 million homes. It’s VP of News and Programming is old friend GARY WORDLAW who discussed the project with TV News Check.

ISMAEL ESTRADA joins NBC’s KNSD-TV in San Diego as Managing Editor. For the last 10 years, he’s been a field producer for CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360 and earlier worked as an investigative producer for sister NBC o-and-o WMAQ-TV in Chicago.

Brown

Longtime WYFF-TV (Greenville, SC) Assistant News Director LEE BROWN is retiring from this Hearst owned NBC affiliate. His last day will be in January, 44 years to the day that he first started there as a reporter. He’s also been the Assignment Editor and Managing Editor. The station reported on his retirement…and his career…here.

And while those of you that looked at the clip probably figured it out long before now, the 70th anniversary link we offered last week was from KGO-TV in San Francisco and not KABC-TV in Los Angeles.

General Manager News and Notes:

There’s a LOT of GM news this week.

Siegel

We told you in an UPDATE earlier this week (and mentioned it above) that Scripps has named BILL SIEGEL General Manager for WSFL-TV in Miami/Ft. Lauderdale, where he’s been tasked with starting a news department. Here’s the official news release. Bill’s been one of the company’s Directors of News Content Strategy. He’s a former ND in New Orleans, and worked in St. Louis, Milwaukee, and San Antonio, and Palm Springs.

Kennedy

Former CBS o-and-o (Philadelphia, Minneapolis, and Miami) General Manager BRIEN KENNEDY is the new VP/GM for Nexstar’s WIVB/WNLO-TV in Buffalo.

ANDREW PERINI has big (or at least well-worn) shoes to fill as he ascends to the GM job for KTVN-TV in Reno. That’s because the man he’s replaces, LAWSON FOX, spent 28 years as GM for this Sarkes-Tarzian owned CBS affiliate. Perini has been the sales manager.

GREG McALISTER is leaving Scripps’ KRIS-TV in Corpus Christi, TX. He was there about seven years.

Sinclair Broadcasting has chosen SUSAN CONNOR to be GM for KTVL-TV in Medford, OR. She’s a former GM for WHBQ-TV in Memphis.

Finally, the GM of KTVZ-TV in Bend, OR, BOB SINGER, is leaving this News Press and Gazette station to become President of the Oregon Association of Broadcasters.
