Tegna News Director is Out

Rick Bagley was the News Director at KFSM (Fort Smith) from 2008 to 2015. He left that job to go to Houston and the WBC O&O KTRK, to work as an Executive Producer.

Two and a half years later, Bagley went back to KFSM and back to his old job as News Director. That was in 2017. But, now Bagley has left the station again.

The station is now owned by Tegna (formally Tribune) and insiders say there has been a lot of turnover and a number of longtime staffers are now gone.

It appears that Bagley joins that list.
