The successful candidate as Vice President and General Manager will have full oversight of ABC affiliate WJET-TV and FOX affiliate WFXP-TV(which is owned by Mission Broadcasting and managed through a Time Brokerage Agreement) as well as the digital assets associated of the highly successful community portal YourErie.com.
This rare opportunity to guide a dominant, legacy station in DMA #150 is the result of an announced retirement by a respected Nexstar Broadcasting executive and 32 year media veteran. Erie is Pennsylvania’s fourth largest city and is situated on a sparkling Great Lake while centrally located, only 1 ½ hours from Cleveland, Pittsburgh and Buffalo.
The successful candidate will have demonstrated results in leading sales driven organizations and developing revenue across multiple platforms, as well as promoting teamwork within all station departments. In addition, a track record of success in maintaining a focus on the bottom line, and a broad range of programming experience with an emphasis on localism is essential.
This is an exciting opportunity to join the fastest growing broadcasting group in the country and oversee television and digital operations that have a dominant, leadership position in the market. We are looking for someone who can continue to capitalize on the stations’ assets, while creating new revenue opportunities through strategic planning and differentiation. We want a stakeholder, someone who is engaging, promotes good citizenship and someone who is pursuing an opportunity to advance their career in a Nexstar market that was one of the Company’s earliest acquisitions.
