The GM of Gray Television‘s NBC affiliate in Louisville, formerly the head of its WVUE-8 in New Orleans, is being promoted to a senior-level position.
At the same time, Gray has created the position of Regional Vice President/General Manager and is elevating five General Managers into this new role.
An expanded senior operations management team is taking shape at Gray, and Ronna Corrente is now SVP of Local Media, tasked with oversight of Gray’s television markets in the Southeast.
Corrente has been GM of WAVE-3 in Louisville since August 2021, shifting from similar duties at Gray-owned FOX affiliate WVUE-8 in New Orleans. She’s also led Gray’s WAFB-TV in Baton Rouge.
Corrente started her career in Louisville, at Fox affiliate WDKY-56 in Lexington, Ky.
She’s earning a role that until now has been held by Chris Mossman. He has resigned, and will be pursuing other opportunities outside of Gray Television.
Mossman commented, “I’ve had a great run with Gray. Now it’s time for me to come home from the road and begin the next phase of my life. It’s been an honor to be part of the company’s tremendous growth and I wish them well in the future.”
Gray COO Bob Smith added, “We wish Chris all the best in his new endeavors and thank him for over 22 years of service to the company in many different capacities.”
Mossman spent nearly 23 years at Gray, rising to SVP/Local Media in November 2018. Early career experiences include an AE role at Petry Television, and a AE position for News/Talk WFLA-AM in Tampa-St. Petersburg from April 1993-July 1994.
