We Stand Corrected

Yesterday, FTVLive told you that with the naming of Kari Patey as the new News Director at WCCO in Minneapolis, we thought it was the first time women ran all the news departments in a big market.

The ladies rule with Patey at WCCO, Anne Wittenborg at KSTP, Miriam Davey at KMSP and Jane Helmke at KARE.  

But, a number of FTVLive readers pointed out that the same thing happened a few years ago in Dallas. You had Susan Tully at KXAS, Carolyn Mungo at WFAA,  Adrienne Roark at KTVT and Robin Whitmeyer at KDFW. 

It was also pointed out to us that women run all the newsrooms in Portland, Maine (but, we were talking about big markets here). 

Anyway, putting the ladies in charge is A-OK with us. Let's face it, the guys screwed it up bad enough. Time to give the women a shot at fixing it.
