Skip Valet

The local TV veteran with more than 35 years of experience is tapped to succeed Andy Alford as leader of WFLA (NBC) and WTTA (MNT) effective immediately.

At the Norfolk, Va., CBS-CW duopoly owned by Dreamcatcher Broadcasting and operated by Tribune, Skip Valet becomes VP-GM, while Ryan Minnaugh is named news director.

The head of Graham Media’s CBS affiliate in Orlando, Fla., called a brief staff meeting to tell them he was leaving the station.
