KPHO/KTVK (Phoenix) Executive Producer Brittany Aliff Burtscher is leaving the Valley of the Sun and will be living on Tulsa time.

Burtscher is becoming the new News Director at Scripps’ troubled KJRH in Tulsa.

KJRH has been a revolving door for news managers over the past few years and it appears that Burtscher is next in line.

She is not walking in completely blind, she spent just under two years at KJRH as the Deuce. She was the Assistant News Director for a year and 7 months starting back in 2017.

If she makes it a year and seven months as News Director, she will be fairing much better than those that had the ND job before her.

She starts at the Tulsa station later this month and according to Phoenix Anchor Brandon Lee, Burtscher is, “one of the rare managers who cares deeply about the people she works with.”

I’m not sure what that says about the rest of you in news management and clearly, there must not be many managers that care at KPHO/KTVK, if I’m reading between the lines of his post.
