WPIX Hires New VP/GM

Tribune Broadcasting named Eric Meyrowitz as vice president and general manager of WPIX. Meyrowitz, who had served as VP and GM for Tribune’s WDCW-TV in Washington, D.C. since 2004, assumes the job immediately.

“Eric is the right guy for this job,” said Tribune Broadcasting President Jerry Kersting in a statement. “Even more so because he’s originally from New York–he understands the city, the importance of local news and the rich tradition of WPIX.”

“This is an incredible opportunity to lead a great station in the best media market in the country,” said Meyrowitz, a New York native.
