Hearst Television Promotes Tracy Clark To Vice President

Tracy Clark, Hearst Television’s senior director of finance, based at the company’s New York City headquarters, has been promoted to vice president.

A 31-year finance veteran at Hearst Television, Clark in 2019 joined Hearst Television’s corporate finance team led by Stanley Herriott, vice president of finance. Her focus has been on managing Hearst Television’s compensation practices, improving financial reporting workflows, and supporting station-related finance and operational activities.

Before her corporate role, Clark served for eight years as the company’s west region director of finance. She previously served for 20 years as controller of KCRA and KQCA, the company’s NBC and MyNetworkTV stations serving the Sacramento-Stockton-Modesto, Calif., market.

Jordan Wertlieb, president of Hearst Television, said: “Tracy has done exceptional work and has been an important contributor to Hearst Television for many years, from her time as controller at one of our bellwether stations through her most recent role on our corporate team in New York,” Wertlieb said.  “In this role, her exceptional knowledge of our stations, our industry, and the Hearst Television culture will continue to be an important resource for our stations and our company.”

Herriott, to whom Clark continues to report, added: “Since joining the corporate finance team, Tracy has successfully led several strategic finance initiatives focused on identifying solutions or tools that have resulted in process improvements and efficiencies. Her extensive financial and operational experience in media has been invaluable and will be instrumental as we continue to modernize our finance operations.

Clark has served on the board of directors of the Media Financial Management Association, and she currently serves on the Board’s Advisory Committee. She holds a bachelor’s in accounting from California State University at Sacramento.
