By Kevin Eck 

Scott Nichols is joining Sinclair’s WSET in Lynchburg-Roanoke, Va. as news director.

“His past experience as a News Director in both NC and NY made him a great choice for WSET,” GM George Kayes told TVSpy.

The move was first reported by our good friend over at FTVLive. Nichols replaces Len Stevens, who left WSET in June.
