Paul Spingola

At the Promax Station Summit in Las Vegas, another Battle of the Promo Superstars took place. It’s a simple concept: five stations’ creative services departments are given the same news story to promote. Which one would you say won the Battle of the Promo Superstars?

The new creative services director for WFLA, Nexstar’s NBC affiliate in Tampa, Fla., is no stranger to the Nexstar Nation. But he’s really new to Tampa. I caught up with Paul Spingola who’s just been on the ground there for three days since starting on Monday. Spingola is making the move to Tampa’s WFLA from another Nexstar station, WTNH, the ABC affiliate in Hartford-New Haven, Conn.
