Fox and Cox GM's Switching Coasts

Yesterday, FTVLive told you that Cox is going to give up KTVU in the San Francisco market to Fox Television stations. 

In return, Fox is going to give Cox their stations in Boston (WFXT) and throw in Memphis (WHBQ) as well. 

And while the ownership of the stations will change on both coasts, the GM of the stations will also swap east coast and west coast.

FTVLive hears that KTVU General Manager Tom Raponi will be leaving the left coast for Boston and WFXT.

On the flip side, WFXT GM Gregg Kelley headed to San Fran to oversee KTVU.

It is odd to see companies swap stations, even more strange is swapping out the GM's.

Both Raponi and Kelley will be overseeing the hires made by the other person.

Just when you thought you have seen it all in TV news, something like this happens.
