Mover over George Stephanopoulos, your new boss has an even longer name.

ABC announced that Almin Karamehmedovic is next president of ABC News. He takes over for Kim Godwin, who was pushed out after a rocky ride at the mouse house.

Karamehmedovic will oversee the day-to-day operations of ABC news. He will lead the teams responsible for “World News Tonight with David Muir,” “Good Morning America,” “The View,” “20/20” and “Nightline,” as well as ABC News Live, ABC News Studios and special events coverage.

“Almin has devoted his career to ABC News, mastering every role and elevating excellence in journalism by connecting with viewers in a very meaningful and profound way that resonates with them,” said ABC’s Debra OConnell. “He is a widely respected, seasoned journalist of the highest order who has worked his way up to senior executive producer of ‘World News Tonight with David Muir,’ earning the trust of colleagues and industry peers along the way. I have no doubt ABC News will reach new heights under his leadership.”

“I approach this role with great respect and humility, not only for the hundreds of colleagues around the world whose tireless contributions fuel the unflinching and unbiased reporting of ABC News but also for the viewers we serve,” said Karamehmedovic. “Our team represents the best in journalism. We are grateful to have Debra OConnell, who sets the bar for all of us in a meaningful and supportive way that enables us to thrive in a profession we revere and love.”
