TEGNA has transferred the Asst. News Director for its NBC affiliate in Charlotte to Connecticut, where he will take the News Director role for the company's FOX and The CW Network affiliates serving New Haven, Hartford, and most of the state.

For the last seven years, he has served as the Senior Executive Producer of ABC News’ “Good Morning America.” Now, he's joining Sean Compton in taking on a leadership role at Nexstar Media Group's still-growing NewsNation operation.

She began her career in 1997 as an assistant assignment editor at WPXI-11, Cox Media Group's NBC affiliate in Pittsburgh.  Now, after some time in the South, she's coming back to the Keystone State to serve as President/GM of a TEGNA ABC affiliate.

Salem Media Group has just named a new General Manager of its Orlando group of radio stations and for its related Salem Surround Orlando operation. It's an individual who was most recently the Las Vegas-based West Coast Market Manager for The Media Audit, and spent the majority of his career in Kansas City.

There's a new VP/GM at a onetime NBC affiliate that's seen a particular resurgence in recent years as an unaffiliated news-focused free-to-air property serving the San Francisco Bay Area. He takes his new duties at the Nexstar Media Group property on May 17.

Since joining the radio industry in September 1992, she's been associated with some of Southern California's most successful Hispanic-targeted radio stations.

Ad spend and pricing data research and analytics firm Standard Media Index (SMI) has a new Vice President of Sales.
