A day after sealing its deal to acquire Media General, Nexstar continued rolling out its new slate of group and station-level executives Wednesday afternoon, adding new general managers in San Francisco and Indianapolis to the list.
Christopher McDonnell, a broadcast vet with two decades of experience, has been named VP and general manager of KRON, the My Network affiliate serving the San Francisco area, as well as its community-based digital platforms. Most recently, McDonnell served as president and general manager of Telemundo-owned WSNS Chicago, where he oversaw the expansion of the Spanish-language station’s local news output and community initiatives.
