Landed in Nashville

Earlier this month, FTVLive told you that Snclair has posted a job for a News Director at KATU in Portland, OR.

Sinclair called KATU, “one of the strongest local newsrooms in the country.”

When we posted the story, we pointed out that, “current KATU News Director Yvonne Simons has held the job for almost 6 years. She has not mentioned anything about an exit on social media.”

Well, a check of her LinkedIn shows that she has moved to Nashville but has stayed in the Sinclair family.

Simmons is now the ND at Sinclair’s WZTV in Nashville.

Still no word on who took over at one of the strongest stations in the country.
