Greetings:

THREE new news directors in our report this week, including one who’ll head up a new state-wide new network. And there’s just ONE new opening, that’s at a Spanish language station in Washington.

Those changes bring our total of open ND jobs to 25.

We again feature TWO ads from network o-and-o’s in the top three markets.

And there’s just one item in Names in the News this week, and that’s an update on an item we told you about last issue. Don’t forget to send me your news!

Read on for all this week’s news.

New News Director Openings:

WFDC-TV, Washington, DC…KAREN MENDEZ (as you’ll read below) is leaving to become ND for KXTX-TV in Dallas. She’s been ND here for about 2 1/2 years.

She’s also worked in New York, Orlando, and Puerto Rico. Karen replaces JOSE FLORES who left to be a GM in McAllen, TX.

Atkinson

New Hampshire One News, Concord, NH…ROBB ATKINSON is leaving CNN NewsSource to become the first news director for a new statewide news network. Here’s what Robb told me about the operation, owned by Binnie Media:

NH1 News will be seen on the independent station WBIN TV in the Boston/Manchester DMA starting this fall. Our focus will be all things New Hampshire with bureaus in Manchester/Derry, Laconia, Nashua, Lebanon and Portsmouth. The NH1 Media Center in the state capital of Concord will be completed soon and will stand as the preeminent media facility in the state, housing NH1 TV, NH1 Radio, NH1.com and studios for six Binnie Media radio stations.

Robb’s been at CNN for four years, and earlier had been an ND in Portland, ME, Knoxville, and Wilmington, NC, and worked at MSNBC and CNBC.

Tang

KOLO-TV, Reno, NV…STANTON TANG succeeded in his desire to move west. We told you a few months ago that Stanton was leaving his job as ND of WZZM-TV in Grand Rapids, MI, so he could move west to be closer to family. He served four years as ND in Grand Rapids, and five years before that as EP. He’s also worked in Las Vegas, Sacramento and Phoenix. He replaces JENNIFER HARDY who left to become ND at WAAY-TV in Huntsville. Stanton will be the eighth ND in 12 years for this Gray TV owned ABC affiliate.

Greetings:

I hope you had a nice holiday.

I know FOUR people who probably did. They’ve all taken new ND jobs this week, bringing our count of open ND jobs to 26. And I’m not aware of any new openings.

TWO network o-and-o’s in the top three markets are running paid ads below for news management openings. They’re among the FOUR ads this week.

And we’d like to welcome back Accu-Weather as an advertiser. Check out their offerings in the ad just below.

I’m sorry to report the passing of a longtime syndicator in our business who many veteran NDs will remember. His obituary is below.

Names in the News features a few items, including a new role for a longtime Boston newswoman. And we have an item about the departure of the most senior Indianapolis General Manager.

All that and more below.

New News Director Openings:

None that I know of.

Newly Named News Directors:

Seals

WHAS-TV, Louisville, KY…veteran newsman DAVID SEALS gets his first ND job as he takes over June 2nd at this Gannett-owned ABC affiliate. He’s been at Sinclair’s WZTV in Nashville since September 2011, first as Morning EP and then as Assistant ND. He spent nine years as an Assistant ND in Norfolk, and has also worked in Syracuse, New Haven, Albany, NY and Binghamton, NY.  This job’s been open a long time…like since last September, when MARK NEERMAN left. The station did hire JOSH EURE in February but he later decided to remain in Phoenix (details here).

Roe

KHQ-TV, Spokane, WA…JESSICA ROE returns to a newsroom as she’s been named news director for this Cowles owned NBC affiliate. Jessica’s worked for the State of Colorado for the past four years, but earlier spent five years as an EP at KUSA-TV in Denver, as well as working for three other Denver stations, and in San Francisco, Albuquerque, and Colorado Springs. Her Linkedin bio is here. Jessica replaces NEAL BOLING who spent four years as ND before being promoted to Station Manager in April. Neal tells me Jessica learned about the opportunity via the station’s ad in this newsletter.

Lauber

KWTX-TV, Waco, TX…MIKEL LAUBER moves within Gray TV as he’s been named ND for this CBS affiliate. Mikel’s been the ND for sister Gray CBS affiliate WSAW-TV in Wausaw, WI since 2011. He’s also anchored there. At KWTX, he replaces longtime news director VIRGIL TETER who’s moving to a new role as Special Projects Director.  He’s been at the station for almost 25 years, much of it as VP/News Director, part of a 54 year career in news which has taken him to San Antonio, Sacramento, Omaha, Beaumont, and Denver.

Laszewski

WSAW-TV, Wausaw, WI…JESSICA LASZEWSKI continues her tour of Wisconsin as she becomes the next ND for the Gray TV owned CBS affiliate. She most recently served as an EP for WISC-TV in Madison, where she’s been since 2005. She earlier worked in Green Bay, WI, Eau Claire, WI, and for another Madison station. She’s a graduate…take a guess now…of the University of Wisconsin. She replaces MIKEL LAUBER who, as you know from the item above, is off to be ND for another Gray TV station, KWTX-TV in Waco, TX.

Greetings:

I hope you’re enjoying a great Memorial Day weekend.

This week’s report features more on the retirement of a veteran ND whose departure we told you about yesterday in an UPDATE. That’s one of TWO new openings this week, both in large markets. And we have just ONE new opening to share with you.

Our always unofficial count of open ND jobs stands at 28. Please, no wagering.

THREE of those openings are among the FOUR paid ads below.

Funeral services were held today for former ND MIKE GEORGE. His obituary, complete with memorial information if you so choose, can be found below.

And just two item in Names in the News, including the retirement of a former ND and anchor who spent 43 years at the same station, and an update on a job change for a well known former ND and Poynter exec.
All this and more below.

New News Director Openings:

Jordan

KIRO-TV, Seattle, WA…BOB JORDAN will retire at the end of June, right before his 68th birthday in July, after almost two years as ND here and 45 years in our business. Bob surprised his staff at this Cox-owned CBS affiliate with the news yesterday. His long career has included ND jobs at another Seattle station, three stints running the news department at Cox’s WFTV in Orlando (where he also once anchored), as well as serving as ND in Los Angeles, Minneapolis, and Tampa. Bob also was a GM for WPTV in West Palm Beach. The Orlando Sentinel’s HAL BOEDEKER calls him ‘one of a kind’ in this article.

KMAX-TV, Sacramento, CA…we reported a few weeks ago that BRENT BAADER was leaving this CBS owned CW affiliate at the end of the May book, but the company was debating how to replace him. As you’ll see by the paid ad below, that decision’s been made, and the search is now on for a news director. Check out the ad….and if you apply…let ’em know where you saw the opening.

Newly Named News Directors:

Moore

KSL-TV, Salt Lake City, UT…CHRIS MOORE has been promoted to news director here. He’s been Senior EP for this Bonneville-owned NBC affiliate, and previously worked for many years as the 10:0) PM producer. Before joining KSL, Chris worked as a reporter in Rapid City, SD, and as a producer in Reno. He succeeds TANYA VEA. We told you last month that Tanya was being promoted to Station Manager for KSL, which is the top job there. She reports directly to DARRELL BROWN, who’s the president of Bonneville.

In our report last week on JACK PAGANO’s appointment as ND for WAKA-TV in Montgomery, AL, we told you he’d previously been ND at WAAY-TV in Huntsville. Not true. He was ND for WWAY-TV in Wilmington. And he actually retired from the Army in 2007, not ‘recently’ as we reported.

Paid Help Wanted Ads:    

News Director, KMAX-TV, Sacramento, CA:

Jordan

A veteran news director announced his retirement today after 45 years in our business.

BOB JORDAN, who’s currently the ND for KIRO-TV in Seattle, surprised his staff this morning by telling them he’s retiring at the end of June. Bob’s been ND for this Cox-owned CBS affiliate since August, 2012, but his long career has included ND stops at another Seattle station, Orlando (three times), Los Angeles, Tampa, and Minneapolis, and a General Manager assignment in West Palm Beach. Bob’s daughter, son-in-law, and grandchildren live in Seattle.

Bob took to Twitter to spread the news.

Congrats to Bob. We’ll hope to expand on this story in our full newsletter which may be delayed until later this weekend.

George

I’m sorry to report the death of former news director MIKE GEORGE.

Mike, who retired last year from KBTX-TV in Bryan, TX, was found dead in his home yesterday at the age of 51. Foul play is not suspected. An autopsy will be conducted.

He is survived by three children and his wife of eleven months.

Mike worked at KBTX on two occasions, most recently for more than five years as ND before retiring last year. He also worked in Austin, Atlanta, and Las Vegas, where he was the ND at what was then KVBC-TV (now KSNV-TV).

His former station, KBTX, posted this story on its website.

Our sympathy to his family, friends, and former colleagues at KBTX.

Greetings:

We’re a little late with this week’s report (blame a busy sports day here in Indy!) but we’ll try and make up for our tardiness with lots of news.

Included in that news: THREE new ND openings, TWO newly named NDs, and a list of 26 stations that are looking for a new ND.

We have paid ads for TWO of those openings, as well as a new ad for an Operations Manager in Louisville.

You’ll learn about a new corporate ND in our Names in the News segment, along with updates on a number of news managers on the move.

All this and more below.

New News Director Openings:

Hobson

New England Cable News, Boston, MA…we’re about two weeks late in reporting that NANETTE HOBSON, who’s been ND here since February, 2012, has left this Comcast owned operation. She spent nine years as the ND for WNCN-TV in Raleigh (where she was known as NANETTE WILSON.) Nanette spent 20 years (in two different stints) at WRC-TV in Washington, DC, rising to Assistant ND. She’s also worked for two stations in Baltimore and one in Norfolk, VA. More in this article from the Boston Herald, which also reports that Assistant ND BOB KEATING left the station at the same time.

WFRV-TV, Green Bay, WI…KENT HARRELL is leaving this CBS affiliate, owned by Nexstar, to return to Illinois as ND for WICS/WICD-TV in Springfield/Champaign, IL. More on that below. You can learn more about this opportunity in the paid ad below.

Shaw

KVRR-TV, Fargo, ND…JIM SHAW, who’s been the only ND this FOX affiliate has ever known, stepped down on Friday to concentrate on his health. He’s been fighting an illness since last September. Before starting the news department at KVRR in 1999, he spent 21 years working for WDAY-TV in Fargo. The local newspaper, the Forum of Fargo-Morehead, offers this nice profile of a veteran newsman.

Also, it’s not a new opening, but I wanted to call your attention to the opening at KPRC-TV in Houston which the station is advertising below.

Newly Named News Directors:

Harrell

WICS/WICD-TV, Springfield/Champaign, IL…as noted above, KENT HARRELL will be the next ND for this Sinclair owned operation. He’s been the ND for WFRV-TV in Green Bay since September, 2012. But before that he spent five years as an ND in Rockford, IL. Kent’s also been an ND in Corpus Christi and for Bay News 9 in Tampa. He’s also worked in Dallas and Memphis. He replaces KATIE McMANUS-FAYE who is leaving to return to the Southeast to be closer to friends and family.

WAKA-TV, Montgomery, AL…JACK PAGANO has been named ND for this Bahahel owned CBS affiliate. Jack’s a former news director at WWAY-TV in Wilmington, NC.  He’s been a Senior Strategist and Television Mentor/Trainer in Afghanistan for the past 6 years since retiring from the Army.  Jack replaces ROB MARTIN who’s returning to Birmingham as ND for WIAT-TV, the CBS affiliate there.
