It certainly didn’t take long to fill Josh Morey’s empty office at WBRC in Birmingham….the  Fox affil  named NATE MILLS as the new CSD. Well, he IS in the market, so there’s no lag time in packing, moving, unpacking…. Nate has been at Nexstar’s WIAT, which calls themselves CBS 42 and spent time learning the art of promo at KXAN in Austin and KXXV in Waco.  He’s an avid sports fan I hear. A grad of Ol’ Miss. Well Dunne! Nate.

Another major leader has announced plans to stop going to the office and retire. One day soon we will discuss that retirement is not what it used to be, but not today. Today we salute EMILY BARR, a promo-based TV executive who has been heading up the Graham Media Group. She’s also headed up as GM both ABC7 in Chicago and WTVD, ABC’s Raleigh NC market station. I know of zero people who have worked with her that don’t sing her praises. Sad to see her exit, but why not…a major Well Dunne! for a great career, Emily.
