Wednesday, January 26, 2022 UPDATE:
Greetings:
Big new jobs today for two former news directors.
Matthews
CHAD MATTHEWS, currently the GM for WABC-TV in New York and a former ND there, has been named President of the ABC owned stations group. Details in this story from the WABC website. Chad has spent most of his career at WABC, absent a five year run as the Assistant ND for WTVJ-TV (NBC owned) in Miami. He replaces WENDY McMAHON who left to become co-head of CBS News and Stations.
Collura
And a new job for a former news director turned general manager. DEBORAH COLLURA returns to Sacramento as GM for CBS's KOVR-KMAX-TV. She spent five years as Ass't. ND there earlier in her career before moving on to ND jobs in Minneapolis, Miami, Detroit and Houston as well as an executive news role for Post-Newsweek. Her first GM job was at WCNC-TV (Tegna/NBC) in Charlotte (4 1/2 years) and later WGCL-TV (then Meredith, now Gray/CBS) in Atlanta (1 1/2 years). More on her appointment here.
Congrats to both Chad and Deb.
We'll see you next weekend with our full report.
regards,
Rick Gevers

Greetings:
Hope 'BOUT those NFL playoff games?
They were interesting and we have some interesting stories this week, along with a number of new openings and new news directors.
THREE new news directors and FOUR new openings, leaving 42 stations with news director openings.
Sadly (at least for me) there are no paid help wanted ads!
However, we do welcome STRINGR back as an annual advertiser and thank then for their support. Take a second to click on their link just below to learn more about the company.
Also this week, news of the upcoming retirement of a small (but important) group CEO. Her company quickly promoted her replacement.
And there's very interesting story in Names in News (and other things):
Affiliation changes, while not new, are infrequent. But have you ever heard of one where the change took place THE VERY NEXT DAY? We've got that story below, as well as a number of news managers on the move…and a step out of the newsroom into a new venture for a three time ND.
Finally, last week (in the emailed version of the newsletter) we screwed up the last name of CHAD CROSS, who's leaving KXAN-TV in Austin, TX, to join a new CBS project. Apologies to Chad Cross and to CHAD COOK, whose name we mistakenly used. (Many of you may know Chad Cook, who is VP of Creative Services for our friends at Stephen Arnold Music.)
Have a great week.
Newly Named News Directors:
Shriner
WAVE-TV, Louisville, KY…Gray Television has promoted JENELLE SHRINER to news director for this NBC affiliate. It's her third ND job for the company…she's the ND at KOLD-TV (CBS) in Tucson, and first joined Raycom (which Gray later acquired) as ND at KPLC-TV (NBC) in Lake Charles, LA. She replaces DAN FABRIZIO who was promoted to ND for Gray's WSMV-TV (NBC) in Nashville after 2 1/2 years as ND here.
Peterson
WTVA-TV, Tupelo, MS….PAT PETERSON gets a new job but stays in Mississippi as he'll be the next ND for this Allen Media owned NBC/ABC operation. He's spent the last five yers as ND for WTOK-TV in Meridian, MS, and earlier worked for 16 years at WKRG-TV (CBS) in Mobile. Pat replaces LIZ ZAMORA who left in December after 2 1/2 years as news director.
Rinaldi
KXMB-TV, Bismarck, ND…JOSEPH RINALDI joins this Nexstar owned CBS affiliate as its next news director. He's currently a producer for Sinclair's Full Measure with Sheryl Attkisson in Washington, DC. He's also worked as a producer for Sinclair stations in Nashville and Tri-Cities, WA. Joseph is also a contributor to USA Boxing News. We told you in November that TIA STREETER was leaving the station.
New News Director Openings:
KOLD-TV, Tucson, AZ…you learned above that JENELLE SHRINER is moving to sister Gray station WAVE-TV in Louisville as ND.
Lamont
KMIR-TV, Palm Springs, CA…this Entravision owned NBC affiliate is advertising for a news director to replace GINO LAMONT who has left the station. He was promoted to ND in 2018, and first joined the station as a photographer and advanced to evening anchor, a job he continued to do while serving as news director. His replacement will be the fourth news director in five years.
WTOK-TV, Meridian, MS…this Gray owned ABC affiliate has a news director opening. We told you earlier that PAT PETERSON was leaving to become ND for WTVA-TV in Tupelo, MS.
Javid
KAEF-TV, Eureka, CA…NAZY JAVID is leaving one Sinclair Broadcasting station for another. She's been the ND and anchor here and is moving to KRCR-TV in Redding, CA, where she will anchor the morning newscast and also serve as the assistant news director.

Names in the News:
A fairly unusual affiliation switch in tiny Marquette, MI (#183). Nexstar's WJMN-TV announced last Thursday it would no longer be a CBS affiliate, EFFECTIVE THE VERY NEXT DAY! Lilly Broadcasting's WZMQ-TV soon after claimed the affiliation, and has announced plans to expand local news coverage. That would leave FOUR stations doing news in that small market.
