Holly Steuart has been named vice president and general manager of WTVM Columbus (Ga.), a Raycom-owned ABC affiliate. She succeeds Lee Brantley, who retires July 31.

Steuart's first GM job was at a cluster of stations in Bismarck, N.D., before GM roles at KVVU Las Vegas and WHP Harrisburg until the latter was sold to Sinclair.

"I feel really honored to follow in Lee's footsteps and be able to have the opportunity to build on the past 18 years of his leadership," said Steuart. "I'm really excited to be working with a good, strong company such as Raycom Media. They're a leader in the digital and sales world."

Brad Streit, Raycom's VP of television, announced Steuart's appointment.
