Scripps announced that they have hired a new boss for their Ft. Myers station. 

The company named Darryll Green as the new vice president and general manager for WFTX, the Fox affiliate. 
 
 “Darryll has the right combination of experiences and expertise to make that station a leader in the community, both on the content side and as an economic driver for local businesses,” said Debbie Turner, vice president of station operations for Scripps. “He has a strong track record for increasing revenue, developing effective teams and growing TV and digital audiences.”
 
Green is coming to Scripps from Urban Radio Broadcasting, where he was the market president responsible for six radio stations. Before that, he was the vice president and chief operating officer, focusing on the 16-station radio group, budgets and strategic planning.
