Tegna reached within its ranks and tapped BLAIR NELSON-MARLIN to be the new VP of Consumer Marketing come early in January next year. Ms. Blair will transition from her current slot at Denver’s KUSA where the title she holds is Director of Marketing and Brand. She honed her skils at WFAA (beloved WFAA back in the day) and received a Denver honor by being named one of the Outstanding Women in Business Winner. 2023 has been an amazing year for her and 2024 looks even brighter. Well Dunne! Blair.

The ladies are getting their due. Down Baton Rouge way comes the news that LEAH MARCHAND has been named one of BR’s 40 Under 40 people. She’s, in addition to her role as Production Director of WBRZ in Louisiana’s capital, an amazing artist. Big fan of her work. The LSU grad was also over at WAFB as Creative Director and then Creative Services Director. Well Dunne! Leah.

For those of you who have been around the block (probably more than a few times) and remember Houston’s MARVIN ZINDLER, let’s remember him as one of the most noticeable parade participants. Thanksgiving brings out parades and Marvin was in the Texas ones. Now, get this. Marvin TWIRLED A BATON. Oh how I would have loved to have seen that. Well Dunne Talent’s MELANIE HAYNES started her career doing a Marvin promo for KTRK. So Well Dunne!
