"I am very proud of what we were able to accomplish in Miami, and I know that our teams will continue to advance local journalism in South Florida," Siegel said in a statement. "I look forward to continuing my Scripps journey in West Palm Beach, and I am thankful to be given the opportunity to lead the great team at WPTV."
