Bill Rinchik has been named director of financial planning and analysis at Young Broadcasting, effective immediately. Rinchik joins from Freedom Broadcasting, where he was vice president of finance and new ventures, with financial management and business development responsibilities for Freedom's eight TV stations.

"As we look to continue to effectively manage long-term growth at our station group, we are excited to have Bill join our management team," said Deborah McDermott, president of Young Broadcasting. "His financial acumen and television industry insights will be of great benefit to Young Broadcasting."

Sinclair Broadcast Group acquired the Freedom stations for $385 million earlier this year.

Before joining Freedom's corporate office, Rinchik was station manager at WRGB Albany.
