Tim Redmond, formerly WJBK Detroit's vice president of engineering, has been promoted to vice president of engineering and operations at Fox Television Stations (FTS), announced Betsy Swanson, the company's executive VP of technical operations and CFO.

Reporting to Swanson, Redmond will oversee strategic planning and execution of relevant technologies for the 27 Fox owned-and-operated stations.

"Tim's proven record of maximizing technology to improve station operations continues to make him an incredible asset to our company," said Swanson. "His ability to lead and execute efficiencies made him the natural choice for this position."
