Scripps WPTV (West Palm Beach) has named a new GM at the station.

The company is moving Bill Siegel up I-95 to the Palm Beaches.

Siegel comes to WPTV from WSFL, the company's CW affiliate in the Miami-Fort Lauderdale market, where he served in the same capacity since December 2019.

"Bill is a veteran journalist dedicated to impactful and trustworthy journalism," Brian Lawlor, president of local media for Scripps, said in a statement. "His deep experience in broadcasting will help drive WPTV's continued success."

"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."
