Sinclair Names a New News Director on the Left Coast

Sinclair’s KMPH in Fresno has named Jim Jakobs as the station’s new News Director.

Jakobs has worked at a number of California stations, including Assistant ND jobs at KCRA and KOVR in Sacramento.

He also worked as the Deuce across the street at KFSN in Fresno.

He replaces Jim Turpin, who was bounced from the station earlier this year.

He starts the new gig in a couple of weeks.
