He had been general sales manager of the company's WXII-TV Winston-Salem/Greensboro, N.C., where the station saw eight straight years of revenue-share growth in the market.

“[Glenn is] a great example of the bench strength and management depth we have in our company,” Hearst-Argyle Television president and CEO David Barrett said in a statement. “He’s delivered consistently strong results in sales management for WXII in recent years and has been an integral part of our very effective management team in the Winston-Salem/Greensboro market.”
