Rick Gevers & Associates

November 13, 2022

Monday, November 14, 2022 UPDATE:

Greetings:

They are putting the band back together in Houston (dating myself with a line from the 1980 Blues Brothers movie.)

That’s where BERNICE KEARNEY was named news director for Graham Media’s KPRC-TV (NBC). Bernice is a 29 year veteran of Graham’s KSAT-TV (ABC) in San Antonio, the last nine as ND. PHIL LANE, the new GM at KPRC, spent eleven years as the GM for KSAT, meaning he most likely promoted Bernice to the ND job there. Bernice’s Linkedin page has more on her background.

She replaces DAVE STRICKLAND who left the station in October, just a few weeks after Lane arrived as GM. Dave spent five years as ND for KPRC and ran the news department at KTRK-TV, the ABC o-and-o in Houston, for 15 years. He was  also a news director in Norfolk.

We’ll be back Sunday…hopefully closer to our normal time….with our full report.

regards,

Rick Gevers

Greetings:

Apologies for our late post this week…we’ll blame travel for the delay. I’ve extended your subscription by another week to compensate for the inconvenience. 🙂

And that delay meant you learned a few hours later than normal of the TWO new ND openings this week (ONE in a top five market), and had to deal with having to wait to learn that NO ND jobs were filled.

So we now have 23 jobs on our list of open ND positions, with TWO of those openings featured in Paid Help Wanted ads.

We do have TWO GM moves to report, with both new GM receiving promotions within their current companies.

And just ONE item in Names in the News…about an Iowa station denied access to the Republican election night party.

I hope to be on time next week!

Newly Named News Directors:

To my knowledge, no news directors were hired this week. As always, if you know of one I missed, please let me know!

New News Director Openings:

WPHL-TV, Philadelphia, PA…this Nexstar owned MyNet affiliate is looking for a new ND to replace MATT TOAL. He’s taking a job out of television after 5 1/2 years here, the last 1 1/2 years as ND. Matt’s complete work history is on his linkedin page. WPHL airs a four hour morning newscast and a 10:00 PM broadcast produced by ABC o-and-o WPVI-TV.

WSLS-TV, Roanoke, VA…MARGARET ASHBURN is stepping down as news director for this Graham Media NBC affiliate at the end of the year. Margaret will join Virginia Tech in media relations. She’s been the ND here for two years, was the assistant ND for two years before that, and earlier had worked in Atlanta, Greensboro, and Augusta, GA.

Paid Help Wanted Ads:

Executive Director, The Kneeland Project:

The Kneeland Project is on the search for a new executive director to lead the nonprofit organization that provides continuing education and leadership training to television news managers.

The organization’s longtime executive director, STACY BAUM, is stepping down to focus on her position at Catholic Charities of Denver as the vice president of marketing and community outreach. Stacy remains onboard while the organization conducts a nationwide search for a successor to lead the nonprofit as it prepares to mark its 25th anniversary in 2023.

During the organization’s tenure, the world-class faculty has trained more than 700 current and aspiring news directors and boasts a stellar board of directors and alumni group.

News Director, WISC-TV, Madison, WI:

News 3 Now/WISC-TV has a rare opening for a News Director to lead our team at the family-owned flagship of Morgan Murphy Media in one of America’s best cities. One of the best places to raise a family. One of the best college sports towns. One of the best places to live, period.

Meet Madison.

There have been five news directors at News 3 Now in the past 42 years, so this opportunity doesn’t come along very often. As such it’s critical we find the right executive who can lead this talented and award-winning newsroom comprised of industry veterans, new industry entrants and the professionals in-between.

News 3 Now has a legacy of excellence. We produce 40 hours of television news a week and embrace coverage through our apps, social, award-winning web site and streaming video channels – that all combine to lead the market in total audience.

We are committed to quality journalism. We’ve been honored to win six national Edward R. Murrow awards from the RTDNA in the past five years, including the top prize for overall excellence in 2016 and 2021. We are also leaders in the community with impactful events as well as a legacy of responsiveness to market and societal conditions.

The right candidate will know how to further develop the talents of our team, use all of our station resources and synthesize them to build on our positive momentum and make News 3 Now the dominant news and information source in the Midwest.

Names in the News:

The Iowa Republican Party banned Cedar Rapids’ KCRG-TV (Gray TV/ABC) from covering its election night party in Des Moines. The station reported on the ban here, pointing out that it came after KCRG gave two Republican ads an “F” grade in a Fact Check segment. Longtime Iowa news director DAVE BUSIEK suggests it may not be the last time a station is banned. Here’s his column from Dave Busiek on Media. You’ll remember we told you last week Dave was launching his new column.

General Manager News and Notes:

Gray Television named a new general manager this week, tabbing JAIME SYRA KAWAJA to run its West Palm Beach, FL operation, WFLX-TV (FOX). Jaime will also be the General Sales Manager there. She’s a 25 year veteran of Gray’s WKYT-TV (CBS) in Lexington, KY, beginning as an intern and working her way up to general sales manager, a position she’s held since 2018. More details about Jaime’s background in this news release.

The only other general manager move this week comes from Wichita, KS. That’s where Sinclair Broadcasting appointed CAMIE NICHOLAS to be Vice President and General Manager for KSAS-TV (FOX/MyTV). Camie has been the general sales manager there since joining the station in 2017. She’s held a variety of jobs in Wichita media, about which you can learn by checking out this news release.

Obituary:

Vazquez

Wednesday’s UPDATE brought the sad news of the passing of JERRY VAZQUEZ, ND for Telemundo’s KTMD-TV in Houston. He was just 54 years old and died of cancer. Funeral services will be held November 15th in San Antonio. Houston media blogger MIKE McGUFF has more on Jerry’s life and career in this story.

Names in the News:

DuPont

TEN local stations are among finalists for The DuPont Awards. This news release has more, while the complete list of finalists is here.

In case you missed it, CNBC is ending SHEPARD SMITH’s newscast, called The News with Shepard Smith. The program debuted two years ago: its last edition will be later this month. The Wall Street Journal has more.

Archer

Our Wednesday UPDATE told you that Gray Television has created its own in-house consulting division and hired two industry veterans to oversee it. CHRIS ARCHER leaves SmithGeiger to be VP/Research & Consulting, while TONY CALFO will be Director of Research for the new unit. He’s a former SmithGeiger employee who most recently has worked at Screen Engine/ASI and Simple Opinions. More details here.

Finch

That wasn’t the only news from Gray this week. The company promoted JAMES FINCH to Vice President of News Services. James is currently Director of News Services for Gray, overseeing vendor partnerships and content sharing. He’ll add supervision of Gray’s in-house news training program and its regional content producers. He’d been an ND for then Raycom’s WBRC-TV (FOX) in Birmingham when Gray bought Raycom.

Jadick

Former Tampa and Louisville news director CHRIS JADICK has a new job. He announced via his Linkedin page that he’s joined WSP USA as a ‘Communications and Engagement Specialist’. That same Linkedin page details Chris’ career path since leaving WFTS-TV (ABC) in Tampa in 2008. He’s also worked at TV stations in Pittsburgh and Detroit.

Busiek

Longtime Des Moines (KCCI-TV) news director DAVE BUSIEK is behind a new blog called DAVE BUSIEK on MEDIA which you can check out here. Dave tells me he’s been pleased with the response. It’s free…though there are paid options…and all the proceeds go to the Iowa Freedom of Information Council. Dave, of course, is a past (then) RTDNA Board Chair.

General Manager News and Notes:

Manzi

General Manager JOHN MANZI moves to California but stays within Sinclair as he becomes GM for the company’s KRCR-TV in Chico, CA. He’s been running Sinclair’s KSAS-TV in Wichita and has a sales background. His new job marks a return to California for him, as you’ll learn in this news release.

Wednesday, November 2, 2022 UPDATE:

Greetings:

Two announcements from Gray Television and the death of a Houston news director in today’s UPDATE.

Archer

Gray has created its own in-house consulting division and hired two industry veterans to manage it. The company hired CHRIS ARCHER as VP Research & Consulting: he’s held a similar job at SmithGeiger for the last 12 years, and had earlier been a news director in Honolulu and worked for KRON-TV in San Francisco in a variety of roles.

Calfo

And Gray hired a former SmithGeiger consultant, TONY CALFO, as its director of research. Tony has been at Screen Engine/ASI and Simple Opinions since leaving SmithGeiger in 2017. Both Chris and Tony will start their new jobs on January 1, as you will learn in this company news release.

But wait, there’s more! (A RON POPEIL tribute!)

Finch

Gray also promoted JAMES FINCH to Vice President of News Services. He’s been the company’s director of news services, managing vendor partnerships and content/resource sharing. He’ll add oversight of Gray’s in-house training program, He joined Gray when it bought Raycom: he had been ND for Raycom’s WBRC-TV (FOX) in Birmingham. More on James’ promotion in this news release.

Vazquez

Finally we close with the passing of longtime Texas newsman JERRY VAZQUEZ who lost his battle with cancer over the weekend. He was 54 and had been the ND for KTMD-TV (Telemumdo) in Houston since 2014. He earlier worked at KTRK-TV (ABC owned) in Houston. This obituary has complete details about Jerry’s work history and more.

I did not know him. After reading the obituary, I wish I had.

We’ll see you Sunday with our full report.

regards,

Rick Gevers

There’s one new Assistant ND and a correction for a mistake we (okay, I) made last week.

Names in the News:

Blllau

JUSTIN BILLAU, a 21 year veteran of Gray’s WTVG-TV (ABC) in Toledo, gets another promotion, this time to Assistant News Director. He began at the station as a photographer, advanced to chief photographer, and then moved to news operations manager. ND MICHAEL BALDWIN posted this note on Linkedin which explains some of the reasons for his frequent promotions.

Apologies to MICHAEL O’NEIL. We told you last week that he was moving from Tulsa to Baltimore as an EP for WMAR-TV (ABC). That was right, but we (and when I say ‘we’ I really mean ‘I’) misidentified his former station in Tulsa. He was at KTUL-TV (Sinclair/ABC) there, not KJRH-TV (Scripps/NBC) as we reported.

General Manager News and Notes:

Fogarty

The only General Manager change comes from Savannah, GA, where general sales manager MARSHA FOGARTY has been upped to GM at Gray’s WTOC-TV (CBS). She’s been at the station since 1998, first as an account executive before being promoted to local sales manager. Marsha’s been the GSM since 2014 and replaces LARRY SILBERMANN a one-time ND and former Raycom Regional ND who’d been the GM for almost seven years.

October 23, 2022

Greetings:

A very slow week, with just ONE new news director opening, NO new hires, and a resulting move to 20 openings on our admittedly unofficial list of open ND jobs. The full list is, as always, at the bottom of the newsletter.

FOUR of those 20 open jobs jobs among our FIVE paid help wanted ads. The fifth: an ad for Hearst which is seeking to fill an open news management recruiter position.

Election day draws near, and SciLine is back with an opportunity to interview an expert on political ads.

Always happy when there are no obituaries to share.

Just ONE GM hire to report this week.

We have several news management moves to share, all many involving people moving within their current companies. There’s details on the retirement of a long time Seattle newsman. And we’ll have a link to a story whose author suggests a 10 BILLION dollar program to support local news.

All that and more below!

Newly Named News Directors:

I’m not aware of any new hires this week. Please let me know if I’ve missed something.
