KCTV General Manager Chuck Poduska has announced today that he will retire on March 31, 2020, after 38 years in the business.

Poduska is leaving the Meredith station, saying, “It has been a great honor to work for Meredith throughout my career, and I am particularly proud to have led the outstanding KCTV and KSMO teams for the past two and a half years.”

“Chuck has been a remarkable leader for Meredith. He is respected throughout the organization and has achieved great success in every role he has undertaken,” said Patrick McCreery, President of Meredith Corporation’s Local Media Group. “We are appreciative of Chuck’s commitment and contributions to Meredith over the last 38 years. He will be missed.”

The search is one for a replacement.
