KFSN (Fresno) News Director Michael Carr is making a move to the corner office at the ABC O&O.

The company announced that Carr is the new President and General Manager of KFSN.

Carr spent the past 8 years as ND of the station. “I’m thrilled for the incredible opportunity to lead the station in the very community that I've long called home,” said Carr. “We have such an amazing team at ABC30 and the trust that we’ve built with the community is invaluable. Together, we will continue to create meaningful, impactful, and premium content and experiences for our viewers as the No. 1 news source in central California.”

“Michael started his career at KFSN decades ago and has repeatedly proven his incredible dedication to the station and the community,” said McMahon. “During his tenure as news director, he led the newsroom to embrace innovation and next-generation storytelling while always ensuring a steadfast commitment to our mission as local news brands. That vision and leadership led to increased ratings, audience reach and total engagement. You could say that Michael grew up with the station, and the station with him. This community knows him and trusts him, and just as important, the team at KFSN does too. I couldn’t imagine a better-suited leader than Michael to take KFSN-TV ABC30 into its next chapter.”
