Hearst Television said that it promoted Eric Meyrowitz and Ashley Gold to executive VPs and group heads at the company.
Hearst previously had two group heads overseeing its 33 television stations and two radio stations in Michael Hayes and Frank Biancuzzo. Biancuzzo this week was named president of the new Hearst Media Production Group.
Now, Hayes, Meyrowitz and Gold will oversee the stations.
“For the last five years, Ashley and Eric have been a fantastic team leading our sales organization to new heights,” said Hearst Television President Jordan Wertlieb. “I am truly excited that both will join Mike Hayes in providing outstanding leadership and assistance to our local operators. Our ability to have such accomplished executives, who have successfully served in both station sales management and general management, seamlessly step into these important roles speaks to the outstanding depth of talent in our company.”
