Bumped Up at Scripps

Scripps has named Joe Antonelli to the position of vice president and general manager of WGBA and WACY in Green Bay, Wisconsin, effective April 16.
 
Antonelli is currently director of sales for Scripps station WFTX in Fort Myers, Florida. In his new role, Antonelli will have direct responsibility for the station’s sales operations in addition to general station oversight. 
 
“Joe Antonelli will bring incredible sales acumen and TV experience to WGBA,” said Brian Lawlor, president of Local Media. “He has proven his ability to develop world-class sales teams and stay ahead of changes in the media marketplace, which will help him hit the ground running in Green Bay.”
 
“I am honored to join the incredible team at WGBA and WACY and to continue the station’s reputation for delivering news and information to local audiences and advertising solutions that help local businesses grow,” said Antonelli. “I look forward to jumping into this exciting work with the team in Green Bay – as a native Midwesterner, I can’t wait to get back closer to home.”

I think when January rolls around and Joe is sitting in Green Bay, he might miss Florida just a bit.
