He’s trading the blue grass of Kentucky for the red carpets of Los Angeles. CHRIS ELLISON BAETE is the man in question and he’s joined the VP club in addition to the move west. His new role is officially Vice President of Marketing at ABC7, KABC, the LA flagship operation. He’s decamped his office at WAVE TV in Louisville where he’s been working his way up the marketing ladder, having started as on-air promo manager. A grad of Western Kentucky U, Chris will shortly be an expert on such things as calling the highways The and where the nearest Trader Joe’s is located. Well Dunne! Chris.

Cosmo Losco, who earned promo chops and attention with his work at WRC/DC, WGAL/Lancaster, WTTG/DC and WCAU/Philly, started his own film company when he left TV, and this is the trailer for his upcoming film. Enjoy!
