KOVR, the CBS O&O in Sacramento, has always occupied a special place. A good friend’s father signed the station on; he was instrumental building stations in Texas, Portland, Honolulu. Then years later, when the late JOHN TISCHENDORF headed up the creative and programming for Channel 13 and produced the kind of work that still rings true today. Outstanding. So when KOVR has changes, it definitely gets put on the radar. Now, 68 years on, it’s so lovely to focus on KOVR again and their new Research Director RICHARD LEESON. He has the most interesting background. He’s coming to KOVR from ‘across the street’ at Fox affil KTXL where he was CSD and he was also Research Analyst there when it was owned by Tribune. He was Director of Programming and AE for Comcast SportsNet California. He was Director of Broadcasting and Experiential Marketing for the California State Lottery as well as Director of Television Communications for the Cali Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. Richard must have some amazing stories, right? One…two…three…Well Dunne! Richard!
