Doerr opens in San Antonio

By Dan Trigoboff -- Broadcasting & Cable, 2/5/2002 7:32:00 AM

A.H. Belo Corp.'s San Antonio station, KENS-TV, has hired Tom Doerr, a veteran news director and former news consultant, as its news director.

Doerr was a news director for five years at WPLG-TV Miami before joining AR&D as a consultant, and he was news director at KTRK-TV Houston before that.

He worked briefly as an independent consultant following the implosion and dramatic restructuring at AR&D last year, but he decided to return to the news business when his family was resistant to his continued extensive traveling following Sept. 11.

Doerr had consulted with KENS-TV for four years at AR&D, so general manager Bob McGann began discussing the job with Doerr following the departure of news director Nick Simonette, who left the station to become news director at WAFB(TV) Baton Rouge, La.
