The No. 1 station in the No. 1 market has just named a new boss.

WABC announced that Marilu Galvez has been named president and general manager of the Big Apple station.

She is replacing Chad Matthews who stepped into the role of president, ABC Owned Television Stations, earlier this year.

“I have worked with Marilu for more than 20 years in various roles, and her wealth of experience in news and community engagement makes her the perfect person to lead WABC-TV now and into the future,” said Matthews.

“It’s a great honor and privilege to lead New York's and the nation’s No. 1 station - a station I have been a part of for almost 20 years,” said Galvez.  “As WABC-TV’s new leader, I am deeply committed to supporting the incredibly talented individuals who make Channel 7 exceptional in every way. Together, we will continue to expand and deepen our connection with our tri-state audience and, more importantly, continue to tell impactful stories and deliver vital information across our platforms that reflect and inform the communities we serve.”

Galvez most recently served as vice president of Community Engagement and Development for WABC-TV, and she is also the committee lead for the Disney Media & Entertainment Distribution Networks’ Diversity Equity and Inclusion team.
