The Monterrey, Salinas, Santa Cruz market in California sits right on Monterrey Bay and the Pacific. It’s home to world class golf, vistas which allow sunsets that leave one breathless, and gnarly waves for surfers. At the Hearst ABC there, KSBW, CSD ED EVEREST has promoted the most interesting lady to be his Promotion Manager.  She’s been PM since early fall after being a producer in the department. She worked her way up from starting as a Master Control Operator. Don’t you love that! She’s also the west coast contributor for starsandguitars.com, a “one stop shop for country music.” Check it out. She shoots stills, video and writes for them.  She’s also operated camera for the San Jose Giants baseball club. She earned a Masters in Arts in Journalism and Communications from University of Nebraska – Lincoln. So glad to have ‘met’ you ALEXANDRIA LEAVENWORTH. Well Dunne!

Another Californian making news is former promo pro now full-time Entertainment reporter MANNY DELA ROSA, who got a very impressive piece of paper this weekend. Well, actually a sheepskin. The wildly wonderful Manny earned his Masters in Digital Media from Concordia U in NY. Well Dunne! you movie-loving grad.

Asking COLLEEN HARTMAN’s forgiveness for an incorrect job opening. She’s the Marketing Director at Austin’s KVUE (hello Kristie Gonzales!) and the listing should have read Assistant Marketing Director. Yep, one little word makes all the difference. Like using alleged. Sorry Colleen and thanks to DON SMITH at KENS for the gentle heads up.
