Tuesday, December 17, 2024 UPDATE:

Greetings:

The longest tenured news director in Dallas is calling it quits after 13 years there.

Whitmeyer

ROBIN WHITMEYER is retiring in late February as Vice President/News Director for KDFW-TV, the FOX o-and-o in Dallas-Ft. Worth. Here’s a note she sent me tonight.

Robin started there in January, 2012, after nine plus years as news director at Cox’s WSOC-TV (ABC) in Charlotte, where she spent more than 25 years in a wide variety of roles.

Congrats to Robin on a great run there. Friends can send her a kind note by clicking here.

Greetings:

For mid-December (and, thus, close to the holidays) there’a lot of movement to report

There are FOUR new news directors to tell you about, with THREE new openings.

That means there are now 39 stations with ND openings.

TWO more GM retirements at Gray Television, including a former ND.

A former newsman who worked in Los Angeles, Cincinnati, and (for me) in Toledo is sentenced to five years in federal prison on child porn charges.

TWO stations celebrated outgoing news directors, while another profiled an ND who retired 21 years ago and may be the longest tenured ND in the country.

All that and more as you read on.

Newly Named News Directors:

Bonfield

KHOU-TV, Houston, TX…our Wednesday UPDATE first told you that KATHRYN BONFIELD is joining this Tegna owned CBS affiliate. New this edition: Here’s the news release. Kathryn left WJXT-TV, Graham Media’s independent station in Jacksonville, earlier this summer after 13 years. In Houston, Kathryn replaces LIZ ROLDAN who left in October after more than three years as ND.

King

KWCH-TV, Wichita, KS…KEVIN KING moves within Gray and returns to Wichita to be the next news director for this CBS affiliate. Kevin produced there earlier in his career. He’s been the ND for Gray’s KSFY-TV in Sioux Falls for 14 years (more on that below). He’s also worked in Dallas and St. Louis. Kevin replaces MICHAEL TRUETT who left last month after 18 months as ND,

Neuhoff

KDRV-TV, Medford, OR…thanks to a reader who tipped that BRAD NEUHOFF’s Linkedin page says he’s been ND for this Allen Media owned ABC affiliate since May. That’s a return to a newsroom for Brad, who left KOIN-TV in Portland, OR, in 2014. He’s also been an ND in Columbia, SC. His history, both recent and earlier, is on his aforementioned Linkedin page. He replaces JERRY HOWARD who became director of community outreach here in October, 2023.

Brown

WTRF-TV, Wheeling, WV…KERI BROWN returns to this Nexstar owned CBS/ABC operation as its next news director. She had once interned at WTRF and later became assignment editor there. GM MITZI COLEMAN sent this note to staff detailing Keri’s background. Keri replaces BRENDA DANEHART who is retiring after 20 years as ND and more than 40 at the station.

New News Director Openings:

Rozman

WKTB, Atlanta, GA…MARIA ROZMAN has left this Gray Television low-power Telemundo affiliate after just over one year as ND. She posted on Linkedin that she’s moving to New York and promised more news soon. Earlier, Maria worked in Spain and in the Canary Islands. She’s a former ND for Telemundo stations in Washington, DC and Denver, and worked for CNN and for the Univision station in Denver.

Hatten

WHAS-TV, Louisville, KY…according to his Linkedin page, KEITH HATTEN’s tenure as ND for this Tegna’s owned ABC lasted only five months. Keith joined WHAS in August after two years at KPAX-TV (Scripps/CBS) in Missoula, MT. He’d also spent four plus years as the Assistant ND for Scripps’ WRTV (ABC) in Indianapolis, was an Assistant ND in West Lafayette, IN, where he began as a photographer.

KSFY-TV, Sioux Falls, SD…you learned above that KEVIN KING is leaving after 14 years to become ND for sister Gray station KWCH-TV in Wichita, KS. GM JIM BERMAN sent this kind note to other Gray GMs and other executives.

Names in the News (and other stuff):

Drechsler

A federal judge followed a prosecutor’s recommendation and sentenced former KNBC-TV (Los Angeles) investigative producer PHIL DRECHSLER to five years in prison on child pornography charges. He was also fined $20,000 and, upon release, will be placed on supervised release for 15 years and must register as a sex offender. Full disclosure: I hired him as a photographer in Toledo almost 35 years ago. He also worked in Cincinnati.

WRAL-TV in Raleigh celebrated the career of retiring news director RICK GALL.

WHNS-TV (Gray/FOX) in Greenville, SC, said farewell to ND MARYBETH JACOBY who is moving to sister Gray station WIS-TV in Columbia, SC, as ND.

Giles

And WISH-TV in Indianapolis profiled former ND LEE GILES as part of the station’s 70th anniversary. Lee retired in 2003 but was among the longest tenured ND in the country at 35 years. (Personal note: We had lunch a month ago and he’s still doing well.)

BETH JOHNSON, a former EP who now trains producers, suggests managers look to non-traditional candidates to fill openings.

Researchers at Kansas University found readers trusted news less when they thought AI was involved in its production, even if they didn’t know to what extent.

General Manager News and Notes:

Two more retirements of general managers at Gray TV stations, including former ND turned GM HOLLY STEUART. Holly’s been GM at WTVM-TV in Columbus, GA, since 2013 and has held several other GM and ND positions as her Linkedin page will tell you. Also retiring is SCOTT SANDERS who’s been GM for WMBF-TV in Myrtle Beach, SC, since 2020.

Interview an Expert

Zoom – All SciLine events are free

Wednesday, December 11 (1-3 p.m. EDT)

Seventeen states have some form of fetal personhood law—and the potential implications of such laws gained international attention in Alabama last year, when that state’s supreme court ruled that frozen embryos had the same rights as children, resulting in IVF clinics pausing their services.

Book a 15-minute, 1-on-1 Zoom interview with Dr. Emily S. Jungheim (Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine).

She can discuss:

• How in vitro fertilization works—and why it typically involves the production of extra embryos;
• Fertility patients’ options for these extra embryos, including donating them (for scientific research purposes, or to another family), destroying them, or keeping them frozen indefinitely;
• The effects of fetal personhood laws on fertility medicine practitioners and patients; and more.

BOOK NOW

Wednesday, December 11 (3-5 p.m. EDT)

Nearly 100 million households display a Christmas tree, according to industry research.

Book a 15-minute, 1-on-1 Zoom interview with Dr. Justin Whitehill (NC State).

He can discuss:

• Current work on breeding Christmas trees that don’t drop their needles, and are more resilient to climate change, resistant to pests, and have other desirable attributes;
• How climate change is affecting Christmas tree farming;
• The effect of Hurricane Helene’s landfall in North Carolina on the national tree supply; and more.

Tuesday, December 3, 2024 UPDATE:

Greetings:

An almost 40 year career at one station will come to an end early next year when a Florida news director retires.

Hoffman

JOHN HOFFMAN, who’s been the news director for Fox’s WTVT-TV in Tampa since 2010, is retiring in February. John interned at the station while in college, spent two years at WTOG-TV in Tampa, before starting at WTVT (then a CBS affiliate) in 1987 as an associate producer/writer. He was promoted to a number of jobs, including ten years as the assistant ND, before moving to ND. Much more (including quotes from John and his boss, Regional GM JEFF MALONEY), can be found here.

We’ll see you this weekend with our full newsletter, or earlier if something UPDATE worthy crosses my desk. 🙂

regards,

Rick Gevers

Greetings:

A surprisingly busy week considering the holiday.

There are FOUR new news directors to share, with NO new openings.

That means there are still 39 stations with ND openings, with ONE of those jobs highlighted in a paid help wanted ad.

Would some extra cash help with your Christmas shopping (I’m an XL, by the way, if you have station golf shirts lying around).

Well, $25,000 is the prize in a relatively new award program with categories for both broadcast and cable reporting. Check out the ad just below.

In Names in the News, TWO stories about artificial intelligence, including a recommendation that NDs should lead the strategy discussion. And details about a news director honored for potentially saving the life of a woman in her station’s parking lot.

There’s another example of a former news director getting the GM job at his station, and we have a profile of a former ND turned GM who retired after decades at his station.

And there’s more as you will discover when you read on.

Newly Named News Directors:

Neerman

KOMO/KUNS-TV, Seattle, WA…our Tuesday holiday special UPDATE (so designated because it had BOGO) shared the news that MARK NEERMAN is returning to the ND chair and to Sinclair at this ABC/CW operation. Here’s the note from GM CHAD CONKLIN and a note Mark sent the staff. One of Mark’s earlier ND jobs was at Sinclair’s KSNV-TV (NBC) in Las Vegas. Mark’s entire work history is here. He’s replacing PHIL BRUCE who is retiring.

Trauschke

Rowles

WNCN-TV, Raleigh, NC…Veteran news director ED TRAUSCHKE is retiring at the end of the month from this Nexstar owned CBS affiliate, and will be replaced by DEREK ROWLES, the Assistant ND.

Casanova

A tip of the hat to KULR-TV (Billings, MT) news director DIANE CASANOVA, honored this week by the city of Billings for her role in helping prevent a suicide by a woman who had driven to the station armed with a knife. Details in this story from The Billings Gazette. Take a moment to read it to learn about Diane’s own remarkable story, including getting her first job at KULR after she attended a job fair.

Middleton

NEIL MIDDELTON’s long career serving Eastern Kentucky came to end end late last month.

The local newspaper, The Hazard Herald, (ya gotta love the name) featured him in this profile.

November 24, 2024

Tuesday, November 26, 2024 UPDATE:

Greetings:

An early Thanksgiving gift for you…and for two former news directors who are returning to the ND chair.

Neerman

MARK NEERMAN returns to Sinclair as he’s been named ND for KOMO/KUNS-TV (ABC/CW) in Seattle. Two notes for you: one from GM CHAD CONKLIN announcing the hire, and the other from Mark to the staff, in which (among other things) he pays tribute to the man he’s replacing, veteran newsman PHIL BRUCE who is retiring at the end of the year. Mark was the ND for Sinclair’s KSNV-TV (NBC), one of his TWO ND jobs in Las Vegas, as well as ND jobs in THREE other markets…all detailed here.

Darrah

And MIKE DARRAH returns to a newsroom as he’s taking over Tegna’s WATN/WLMT-TV (ABC/CW) in Memphis. He’s been working out of TV news since leaving KTNV (ABC) in Las Vegas two years ago, where he was the Assistant ND. Mike’s been a news director before, for three years at KITV-TV in Honolulu where he was promoted from Assistant ND, and also spent eight years as an EP in Orlando.

It’s a holiday shortened week, so to sure how much more news there will be, but we’ll have everything in our full newsletter this weekend.

Happy Thanksgiving!

regards,

Rick Gevers

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

Greetings:

A rare week with NO new ND hires and ONE ND announcing his retirement, but that won’t happen until July so the job hasn’t been posted yet, so I’m not adding it to the list…yet.

That means there are still 42 stations with ND openings, with TWO of those openings featured in paid help wanted ads.

We have an ad for a relatively new awards program which offers four $25,000 awards to winners…click on that ad just below.

We have an obituary for a longtime Midwest news director with an unusual…if somewhat appropriate…request in lieu of flowers.

There are TWO new assistant NDs to report, a new job for a former ND and GM, and why some group owners are looking forward to a new administration in Washington.

We also have a bunch of GM retirements. ONE involves a GM who is often remembered for a hire he made 26 years ago…who lasted just four days. And Gray is losing THREE GMs to retirements, TWO of them from stations that just underwent big cuts in their news departments.

Have a great Thanksgiving…and we’ll see you next weekend.

Newly Named News Directors:

To the best of my knowledge…no news directors were hired this week. Always welcome your tips if you know something that I’ve missed.

New News Director Openings:

Holliday

KSDK-TV, St. Louis. MO…the job has not been posted yet…and for all I know may never be…but ART HOLLIDAY has announced his retirement next July on his 46th anniversary at this NBC affiliate. Art had FOUR very distinct careers here as he explained in his email to the staff. Art reports to Director of Content MORGAN SCHAAB. Full disclosure: Art and I worked together here and at KOMU-TV in Columbia, MO.

Obituary:

Heller

RON HELLER, a former news director at KTVO-TV in Kirksville, MO, and KHQA-TV in Quincy, IL, died last week at the age of 82. Ron’s wish was to be cremated, and the family had an unusual but appropriate request in lieu of flowers, as you’ll learn in this story from KHQA.

Names in the News (and other stuff):

ANDREW GUTIERREZ will be the next Assistant ND for Nexstar’s St. Louis duopoly, KTVI-KPLR-TV (FOX/CW). Here’s the staff note from ND OLIVIA DANGLER. Andrew’s spent much of his career at KTTV in Los Angeles.

Pepin

WCYB-TV in the Tri-Cities market in Tennessee filled its vacant Assistant News Director position by promoting anchor REBECCA PEPIN. News Director KEITH WEISS told the staff via this memo. Rebecca will continue to anchor the 5:00 PM news. She’s worked here for almost 20 years after five years in Columbia, SC.

Hofmann

CARRIE HOFMANN has been named President and CEO of The Greenwood Promise, a non-profit in Greenwood, SC. She explains what that is in her LinkedIn post. Carrie most recently was the GM for WLTX-TV (Tegna/CBS) in Columbia, SC, and previously had been an ND for WCNC-TV (Tegna/NBC) in Charlotte and KSHB-TV (Scripps/NBC) in Kansas City. Carrie’s also worked in Phoenix, Denver, and Milwaukee.

The Hollywood Reporter believes the new administration in Washington will be good news for large station group owners.

General Manager News and Notes:

Wade

After 40 years in television, JAN WADE is retiring as GM of Hearst’s WISN-TV (ABC) in Milwaukee. The station posted this story on its website. She’s been GM here since 2007 and previously served as the GM for WATE-TV in Knoxville, TN. She’s also worked in Nashville, Tampa, Providence, Minneapolis and Louisville where she began as an assistant promotion manager.

Banks

LYLE BANKS, GM for WISC-TV (CBS) in Madison, WI, is retiring at the end of the year after four years there. He’s a former GM for WGCL-TV in Atlanta and WMAQ-TV in Chicago where his tenure is most remembered for hiring talk show host JERRY SPRINGER to do commentaries on the 10:00 news. Several veteran anchors quit in protest and Springer lasted less than a week. Banks later admitted the hire was a mistake, and was gone himself less than three months later, as the Chicago Tribune recounted. Lyle went on to a varied career.

A flurry of general managers retirements at Gray Television. Details here. Is it a coincidence that at least two of those retiring GMs ran stations that recently had major newsroom cuts? One was WAGM-TV in Presque Isle, ME, as detailed here, and another was WYMT-TV in Hazard, KY, which reported on itself here.

Longtime WYMT GM NEIL MIDDLETON said his goodbye on-air.
