O-Town Station Names New News Director

Struggling station WKMG in Orlando has named a new News Director.

Allison McGinley has worked at the station for over two decades now moves up to the big chair. 

She had been acting ND since Steve Hyvonen was fired....errrrrrrr....." resigned" back in July.  

"Her experience, talent, energy and commitment made her the easy choice to lead News 6 into the future," WKMG said in a release. That statement also said "she has distinguished herself and defined just about every aspect of the news operation."

The station has recently rebranded themselves (like a bunch of other also ran stations have lately) and is adding a new 4PM newscast.

WKMG was known as "Local 6" and is now known as "News 6 -- Getting Results."

What they are not getting is ratings and that's the reason for all the changes.
