Hearst hires new station manager for Channel 12
Published February 14, 2007 - BizTimes Daily
Jan Wade, a television broadcaster whose experience includes senior positions at leading TV stations in six different markets, is joining Hearst-Argyle Television as president and general manager of Channel 12 WISN-TV, the ABC affiliate in Milwaukee.
Wade has served since 1994 as president and general manager of WATE-TV, the Young Broadcasting-owned ABC affiliate in Knoxville, Tenn. Milwaukee is the nation's 34th-largest TV market; Knoxville is the 60th.
Wade succeeds Frank Biancuzzo, who is returning to Hearst-Argyle's New York headquarters as a senior vice president/group head.
"Jan's rich experience in general management as well as in programming, operations, marketing and promotions make her an excellent choice to succeed Frank and to help carry on the success WISN-TV has enjoyed as one of America's top-rated ABC affiliate stations," said David Barrett, president and chief executive officer of Hearst-Argyle Television. "She understands the vitally important role a leading local TV station plays, on-air and online, as a provider of local news and information, and as an active citizen in the community."
Channel 12 is a media partner of Small Business Times.
