Allyson Meyers, WTXF Philadelphia vice president and general sales manager, has been named vice president and general manager of WOFL-WRBW Orlando, along with WOGX Ocala. All are owned by Fox.

Meyers succeeds Dennis Welsh, who took over WFLD Chicago. She starts Jan. 17.

"Allyson's tenure with Fox has proven she has what it takes to think differently, produce results and be an effective leader," said Fox Television Stations CEO Jack Abernethy. "I am confident she is the ideal person to take on this expanded role within our group and lead these stations."

Earlier in her career, Meyers spent two years as station manager at WSFL in Miami, and before that, was vice president and general manager at WCWJ Jacksonville.

"It is both an honor and a privilege to serve WOFL, WRBW and WOGX," said Meyers. "I look forward to working closely with our team to best service our viewers and the community; I can't wait to get started."

WOFL and WOGX are Fox O&Os and WRBW is a MyNetworkTV.
