Marian Davey has been named senior VP and general manager of KMSP-WFTC, the Fox-owned duopoly in Minneapolis. She starts immediately and reports to Jack Abernethy, CEO of Fox Television Stations.
“Mim has done a stellar job in leading the KMSP-FOX 9 news team for the past 8 years,” Abernethy said. “Her past success and understanding of the market, coupled with her local news expertise and results-driven attitude, make her the natural choice to lead our Minneapolis duopolies.”
Davey succeeds Sheila Oliver, who took the GM job at the Fox stations in Seattle.
