KTVK/KASW/KMSB lost their news director Friday:
"Sandy Breland is the new vice president/general manager at Raycom’s WAFB Baton Rouge, shifting from KTVK, where she was executive news director. She’s a Louisiana native who used to be executive news director at WWL New Orleans." Broadcasting & Cable 6/20/08
Belo brought her in from WWL post-Katrina to try and undo the damage done by Scott Diener. She arrived in August 2006, so she goes back to Louisiana with less than two years in Phoenix.
I wonder what really made her want to go: returning to Louisiana, advancing to a VP/GM job or getting out of KTVK?
BTW, has KPHO found their next news director yet?
I'm sure Doug Bannard and Mark Casey enjoy watching the revolving doors at their competition.
