CBS O&O KCNC has had a News Director opening, ever since the station’s news boss got bumped up to the corner office.

Back in August, FTVLive told you that Tim Wieland was moved from ND chair to the GM chair at the Denver station.

Well, now the station has hired a new News Director and this hire also comes from in house.

Effective immediately Kristine Strain has been named the new ND at KCNC.

Wieland posted the news to his social media about his new hire.

“It’s an honor and privilege to succeed Tim Wieland as news director at CBS Denver,” Strain said. “I love my colleagues and am so proud of the team spirit and collaboration that exists here. I look forward to continuing this shared experience as we work together to reimagine and grow our business across our broadcast, streaming and digital platforms.”
