Meyrowitz Named Hearst Television Sales VP

Eric J. Meyrowitz is joining Hearst Television Inc. as a vice president of sales, effective March 1.

He will be located at Hearst Television’s New York headquarters, where he will share oversight responsibilities for television sales activities at the company’s 29 stations along with Kathleen Keefe, also Hearst Television VP of sales.

Before WPIX, he served for six years as VP-GM of WDCW Washington, where he started as local sales manager and then became general sales manager. He joined WDCW (at the time WBDC)  from WBAL.

He began his television sales career as an analyst and, later, account executive, in New York at HRP, now a unit of Cox Reps.

Meyrowitz earned a BA, cum laude, from Boston University.
