Les Vann, vice president and general manager of WKRC Cincinnati, is departing the station with Sinclair closing on its acquisition of it. WKRC is the market leader in Cincinnati. The closing is expected to happen this week.

Newport bought WKRC in its Clear Channel stations acquisition, and sold it and five others to Sinclair in July for $412.5 million.

Vann started at WKRC in the spring of 2008, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer.
