Troshinsky’s career also had him in Philadelphia, Kansas City and Miami.
“Elliott is a consummate broadcaster who has always set the bar high for localism, quality journalism and community engagement,” said Hearst Television president Jordan Wertlieb. “For over 60 years, KCRA has been known as the station where the news comes first. Under Elliott’s leadership, he and his team have built upon this rich history and have positioned KCRA and KQCA for a very bright future.”
