Kathleen Keefe, the vice president of sales at Hearst Television, will retire at the end of the year.
“Kathleen has provided great leadership and mentorship not only to our sales efforts, but our company,” said Hearst Television president Jordan Wertlieb said in a statement. “…Her systems and good judgment in inventory and pricing disciplines and unmatched knowledge of political advertising, have made all of our sales managers better and have helped cultivate the company’s next generation of Hearst Television’s management.”
Before joining Hearst Television in 2001, Keefe was the vice president of sales and marketing for Post-Newsweek Stations. During her 14 years with that station group, she served as general manager of WKMG in Orlando and general sales manager of WFSB in Hartford and KPRC in Houston.
“I couldn’t be prouder or more appreciative of the tremendous sales management and account executive teams at our stations. I know they will continue to provide industry-leading results,” Keefe said.
