Brett Steininger has been named local sales manager at WPIX, Tribune’s CW affiliate in New York City. Steininger will join the station on June 23 and will report to WPIX general sales manager Debbie Presser.
It is a move within Tribune for Steininger, who previously worked at WCCT in Hartford as the national sales manager for the Tribune-owned stations. He has previously worked at Telerep, Joonbug and Revshare.
“Brett is a dynamic, driven game changer,” WPIX president and general manager Rich Graziano said in a statement. “He has a proven track record of success in multiple markets, most important New York. Brett’s contacts and relationships are vast. His passion to serve the needs of our advertising partners is infectious. Brett will be of tremendous value; a great addition to the WPIX all-star sales team.”
