Tim Redmond New Fox Stations Engineering VP

Tim Redmond has been promoted to vice president of engineering and operations for Fox Television Stations (FTS). Reporting directly to Betsy Swanson, the company’s EVP of technical operations and CFO, Redmond will oversee strategic planning and execution of relevant technologies for the 27 Fox owned-and-operated stations.

In making the announcement, Swanson stated: “Tim’s proven record of maximizing technology to improve station operations continues to make him an incredible asset to our company. His ability to lead and execute efficiencies made him the natural choice for this position.”

Previously, Redmond was VP of engineering for WJBK, the Fox O&O in Detroit. In addition to leading the station’s engineering and operations, he was also instrumental in moving forward several FTS initiatives, namely the completion of FTS’ centralized master control project.

Prior to that, Redmond was director of technical operations for WWJ Detroit. Earlier in his career, he held several positions with WDIV Detroit, including assistant chief engineer, news technical manager, maintenance supervisor and maintenance technician. Redmond began his career as a maintenance technician for WLNS-AM-FM-TV Lansing, Mich.

Redmond holds a degree in science from Lansing College.
