Hearst has announced that Jeff Bartlett will leave WMUR-TV's GM seat.

Jeff Bartlett, WMUR Manchester (NH) president and general manager, will retire this summer. His successor will be announced at a later date.


Bartlett, a news director in several major markets before his first general manager job, ran the Hearst TV station for two decades.


“Jeff exemplifies local television leadership,” said Hearst Television president Jordan Wertlieb. “His deep journalistic experience and keen appreciation for a station’s community-service role have been synonymous with the WMUR mission in New Hampshire and nationally.”

An ABC affiliate, WMUR is a local news powerhouse and reaches a wider array of viewers as host of primary debates in the state during presidential election cycles.
