WCPO Cincinnati Assistant News Director Jeff Brogan has been named news director at WPTV West Palm Beach. Both are Scripps stations.

Prior to his long stint at WCPO, Brogan worked at WXIX Cincinnati as a producer and assignment editor.

"Jeff has extraordinarily strong skills in both content and production," WPTV VP/General Manager Steve Wasserman said in a memo. "He is a hands-on manager who is anxious to join our team and work side-by-side with our newsroom staff and other department heads to make our newscasts even better than they are today."

Brogan's tentative start date is Feb. 23. He replaces Peter Roghaar, who shifted to WTSP Tampa in the fall.
