The organization need a change agent who could create a culture of success by infusing broad acumen that would be respected by each business, technical and creative department head that was going to be part of the growing station group's future. Monetization of cross-platform resources was also essential to optimize localization revenue as well as regional and national opportunities for sponsorships and advertising sales. Successful candidate identified
A President & CEO of one of Americas leading broadcasting companies who’s experience and professional interests were directly in line with those of the client company. In his role prior to being recruited by the firm he oversaw the day to day operations for 42 TV stations in 25 markets with 8 Regional Vice Presidents reporting into him. His experience managing, hiring, training and motivating people with diverse backgrounds was well noted in the broadcasting industry. He brought to the new owners 25 years of television station management on a national level. His business, technology, creative and financial acumen placed him as one of the top TV broadcasting executives in his space, in America. His programming and scheduling expertise allowed him to dominate the top National DMA’s under his management. This TV executive also had experience enhancing and developing media technology in a practical manner as the properties he managed enhanced National, Regional and Local monetization across multiple media platforms. This TV executive was not a technology for technology's sake type of broadcasting executive. His mature approach to budgets, development and utilization of technology were well above the mean for a “TV Stations Group” President. This TV executive also served as both Chairman and President of the Board of Directors of two State Associations of Broadcasters and the Station Group needed a foothold into these markets to become a more important player in regional and national markets.
