Back in December of 2014, FTVLive told you that WFLD (Chicago) Executive Producer Rehan Aslam was being named the Assistant News Director at KTRK in Houston.

Well now he’s moving to the big chair.

Aslam has been named the new News Director at the station.

“When Rehan joined KTRK 5 years ago as Assistant News Director, I knew we had found the kind of leader who believes in total motivation and achieving excellence by lifting people up, not tearing them down.” said Wendy Granato, KTRK President & General Manager. “ Rehan leads teams by listening, including, and settling for nothing less than our very best. Rehan also knows what it means to be a fighter. How to fight to stay on top. Fighting to find ways to do things better. Fighting to serve our diverse audience and community. I am confident that Rehan’s plans for the future will help us solidify our place as Houston’s News Leader and I look forward to this great new era at ABC/13."

He replaces Granato who was bumped up to GM of the station.
