Stability and continuity in management ranks are almost always the traits found in successful businesses. But it’s especially true for TV stations, where turnover tends to be endemic.
Nate Todd is the new creative services director for WVTM, Hearst’s NBC affiliate in Birmingham, Ala., but he already knows his way around.
He had been the assistant CSD to Jason Holloway, who was recently named creative services director of KMBC, Hearst Television’s ABC affiliate in Kansas City.
Both start in their new positions on Monday.
“His experience, energy, and operational excellence make him the perfect fit for this job,” said Hank Price, WVTM’s general manager.

Todd said he’s excited about the promotion and that the culture at Hearst is such that if he ever has a problem, he’s not afraid to ask for help.
“This station is a special place with a great team,” he said. “We’re excited to continue our growth as we work to become the most trusted source for news and weather information in Central Alabama.”

“I worked on all these in some capacity–editing, producing, etc,” said Todd. “We really work as a team at WVTM and I think that’s what sets our stuff apart.”
