Congrats to Ken Frierson who was just promoted to TV5’s big chair.

Well deserved. And it’s great to have representation in the GM ranks!

DAC: I doubt there will be much change. Ken is part of the old guard at TV 5. But at least he knows the market, station and people. Better than the GMs at 12 and 25-66 who are just flown in to mid-Michigan with the corporate playbook. Morale should improve at 5, as long as they keep Ken around longer than the last GM. But I think massive changes to turn around the s*** show are probably only a fantasy. Hence why it’s only appropriate to launch Ken’s tenure with a graphic announcing that its “time to turn your cocks back an hour”.

It was worth some hope. :(

If the worst thing Ken has to deal with is a misspelling that gets people laughing, he’ll be ahead
