Wednesday, February 11, 2015 UPDATE:

Fair

Big news this afternoon from the second largest market, where KABC-TV (Los Angeles) News Director CHERYL FAIR has been promoted to General Manager for this ABC o-and-o.

Cheryl’s been the ND here for more than 20 years: her first day on the job was memorable: It was the day of the O.J. SIMPSON car chase.

She replaces longtime KABC-TV General Manager ARNIE KLIENER who retired at the end of January after almost 20 years running the station.

Congratulations to Cheryl, who’s also worked in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.

We’ll have more on this…and all the latest news…in our full report later this week.

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

Greetings:

FIVE, THREE, 28.

Not a quarterback calling a play, but FIVE newly named news directors, THREE open ND jobs, and a total of 28 stations looking for a new news director. Those are the key numbers in this week’s report, in which I will try hard not to conflate anything.

Another key number: THREE. That’s the number of paid help wanted ads this week, including the first-in-a-while blind box ad for a news director opening.

Unfortunately, we also have THREE obituaries, for a long-ago CBS news executive, for a San Francisco newsman, as well as an obituary for the wife of a SmithGeiger research VP.

In Names in the News, a promotion for a Raycom newsman, and two new managers in Washington, DC.

All this…and more…below!

New News Director Openings:

WTEN/WXXA-TV, Albany, NY…after almost four years as ND here, DAVE CILIBERTI is transferring within Media General to run the news department at WCMH-TV in Columbus, OH. WTEN is an ABC affiliate, WXXA the Fox station. More on his move below.

KJRH-TV, Tulsa, OK…SUSAN D’ASTOLI has left this Scripps/NBC affiliate after almost 2 1/2 years as ND. She previously worked for Scripps’ stations in Tampa and Phoenix, and spent almost 12 years working for WSB-TV in Atlanta.

Eisenman

WJCL/WTGS-TV, Savannah, GA…JULIE EISENMANN is leaving this-newly-acquired by-Hearst ABC/FOX duopoly to become the Assistant News Director for WXIA-TV, Gannett’s NBC station, in Atlanta. Julie’s been the ND here since June, 2011, previously worked as an ND in Erie, PA, where she also had reported and anchored, and earlier worked on the assignment desk at WPXI-TV in Pittsburgh.

Newly Named News Directors:

Connors

WTNH-TV, New Haven/Hartford, CT…we told you Friday that old friend KEITH CONNORS had been named ND for this Media General owned ABC affiliate, succeeding AL CARL (more on Al below). Keith most recently was the ND for WTHR-TV in Indianapolis before leaving about two years ago. He’s been working on a digital project since then. He’s a former ND in Houston, Charlotte, Norfolk, and Rochester, NY, and also worked in Nashville and Toledo, where I hired him at WTOL-TV.

Ciliberti

WCMH-TV, Columbus, OH…DAVE CILIBERTI leaves one Media General station (WTEN/WXXA-TV in Albany, NY) to become ND for another, this one an NBC affiliate. Dave spent almost four years in Albany, and 17 years at WFTS-TV in Tampa in a variety of roles. He also worked for two New York City stations, and as a photographer in Washington, DC, and Houston. At WCMH, he replaces MICHAEL FABAC who left late last year after 2+ years to become Director of News and Marketing for News-Press & Gazette Broadcasting.

Carl

KSNT-TV, Topeka, KS…we told you above that AL CARL is the next news director for this Media General owned NBC affiliate. He’s been the ND for another M-G station, WTNH-TV in New Haven/Hartford, CT. Al requested the transfer for family reasons. He’s been ND at WTNH for about 18 months and worked at the station for almost three years, first as Managing Editor (our report Friday incorrectly said he’d been there about two years). Al’s been an ND in Omaha, for two stations in Huntsville, and in Savannah, and worked for two stations in Kansas City as well as in Saginaw and Albany, NY.

Talley

WMBF-TV, Myrtle Beach, SC…congratulations to ASHLEY TALLEY who gets her first ND job for this Raycom/NBC station. Ashley’s been the Assistant ND for WCTI-TV in New Bern, NC, and has worked in Charlotte and Wilmington. Here’s the story the station posted on its website. I predict Ashley won’t complain about her predecessor to the GM, since GM SARAH MILES spent four years as the ND before being promoted to GM in December.

WEVV-TV, Evansville, IN…longtime Evansville newsman WARREN KORFF has been chosen to re-start news for this CBS affiliate. He’s been working as the Assignment Manager for WEHT/WTVW-TV for the past eight years and has worked in Evansville for 30 years. WEVV dropped news in 2001 under different ownership, but the new owner, Bayou City Broadcast, plan to launch news by the fall.

Friday, February 6, 2015 UPDATE:

Two veteran news directors are on the move after a series of announcements released just a few minutes ago.

Connors

KEITH CONNORS has been named news director for WTNH-TV in New Haven/Hartford, CT. Keith most recently was ND for WTHR-TV in Indianapolis, a job he left a little more than two years ago. He’s been working on a digital project since then. Keith’s a former ND in Houston, Charlotte, Norfolk, and Rochester, NY, and has also worked in Nashville and Toledo.  (Full disclosure: I hired him at WTOL-TV when I was ND there.)

Carl

He’s replacing AL CARL who requested a transfer from this Media General ABC affiliate after about 18 months as ND and not quite three years at the station.  (He was Managing Editor before being promoted to ND in August, 2013.)  Al’s been named ND for sister Media General station KSNT-TV in Topeka.  Al requested the move to Kansas for family reasons. He previously worked for two stations in Kansas City, has been a news director in Omaha, Savannah, and two stations in Huntsville, AL, and has also worked in Saginaw and Albany, NY.

We’ll have more on a lot of other moves in our full newsletter which will be available over the weekend Among them: a new ND in Columbus, OH, a promotion for a to VP/News for a major group broadcaster, and much more.

Our completely unofficial list of stations with open ND jobs now stands at 28.

We have TWO ads for EP positions in different parts of the country, and please note the ad for RTDNA’s deadline extension for the Murrow Awards.

You’ll find several interesting items in our Names in the News section, including a story about a longtime Chicago newsman taking a leave of absence for health reasons, a new job for a veteran Minneapolis news director, and a former ND turned ESPN executive’s retirement. Be sure to check out his role in a “This is SportsCenter” commercial. And we have some general managers on the move, too.

One note.  I’ve dipped my toe into social media (still no Facebook!) by joining Twitter.  You can follow me at #rickgeversnews.  Not planning on tweeting much, but will let you know when we update this site.

Read on for the rest of this week’s news!

Names in the News…and other things:

Whittaker

Our best wishes to WMAQ-TV VP/News & Station Manager FRANK WHITTAKER who was scheduled to undergo prostate cancer surgery last week. Frank told Chicago media writer ROBERT FEDER that his cancer was caught early. He’s worked for WMAQ since 1998 when he joined the o-and-o as News Director.

Benson

Congratulations to longtime Minneapolis news director and news manager DANA BENSON. He’s been named corporate news director for Red River Broadcasting, which owns a handful of stations, primarily in the Dakotas. More on them here. Dana spent eleven years as ND for KMSP-TV, and has worked for all the other stations in town, as well. You can see his Linkedin page here.

You might enjoy…and perhaps get an idea from…this article from DEBORAH POTTER’s Newslab.org site about what stations are doing to preserve valuable film archives.

Jaffe

And happy retirement wishes to former News Director and longtime ESPN executive AL JAFFE who retired on Friday. Al’s been the gatekeeper for talent at ESPN for years, retiring with the title of VP, Talent Negotiation and Production Recruitment. Before his 28 years at ESPN, Al was a news director in San Jose and Sacramento, and a producer in Boston. And he has one thing you don’t have: a featured role in one of the popular “This is SportsCenter” commercials, where he appears with sports agent SCOTT BORAS. There’s a link to that commercial in this story about Al’s retirement. Your note wishing him well can be sent to almjaffe@gmail.com.

Finally, apologies to AARON WISCHE whose first name I bungled last week in reporting his promotion to Senior Executive Producer, News Strategy, for KPRC-TV in Houston.

BRAD MOSES, who most recently was GM for WFLA-TV in Tampa, has joined Gray Television’s KAKE-TV in Wichita as GM. He’s also been a GM in Raleigh and Savannah, and has also worked in Chicago and Toledo, where we worked together at WTOL-TV At KAKE, he replaces DAN WALL who is retiring.
