Terri Cope-Walton Named ND at WRTV

Terri Cope-Walton has been promoted to news director at WRTV, the ABC affiliate in Indianapolis.

“After a nationwide search, I found the most qualified, natural leader for RTV6 News right here inside our station,” WRTV VP-GM Larry Blackerby said in a statement. “In just the past few weeks, Terri has done an outstanding job leading our team of journalists … Terri’s news judgment, passion and commitment to local coverage is outstanding.”
