April Samp, who joined Norfolk’s WAVY less than a year ago, is leaving her post as news director of the LIN Media-owned station.

According to the Daily Press, Samp is departing WAVY to become the marketing director for Jackson’s International Auctioneers and Appraisers in Iowa.

Samp joined WAVY last July after working as news director for KGAN-KFXA in Cedar Rapids, IA.
