Started as Director of News Content (under CCA) Nexstar moved in, did not renew my ND's contract, so I stepped in, replacement ND only stayed for 4 days, took Interim ND job once again until I quit. Oversee all newsroom scheduling, reporter & videographer assignments, keeping track of all wire & video stories, email responses, investigations, and running both morning and afternoon briefings. I foresaw conflicts with the incoming ND, did not want that to hurt the station and my crew, also wanted to run my own outlet, without the boundaries of traditional TV companies.
