Moving Up The Tegna Food Chain

Tegna has bumped KVUE (Austin) General Manager Kristie Gonzales up the food chain a bit at the company.

Gonzales has been named vice president of media operations at Tegna. Tegna announced that in addition to her current role as president and general manager of KVUE in Austin, Gonzales will now also oversee KYTX in Tyler, Texas, and help set the vision for recruiting across TEGNA’s 11 Texas markets.

“Kristie is a proven business and community leader dedicated to developing high-quality content across platforms and serving the greater Central Texas community,” said Brad Ramsey, senior vice president of media operations, TEGNA. “In her expanded role, she’ll bring her significant management and marketing expertise to accelerate our leading content, marketing and community efforts across the state, and help lead our vision for recruiting, developing and promoting diverse talent across all of our Texas markets.”

FTVLive continues to push for more women and minorities in top jobs at media companies. Seeing Gonzales moving up is another step in the right direction.
