INTRODUCTION OF ALAN FRANK
President and Chief Executive Officer
Post-Newsweek Stations
MR. GRAHAM: As CEO of Post-Newsweek Stations, Alan Frank is the head of
our largest profit center.
He is proving himself a worthy successor to Bill Ryan, and that's really saying something. Like Bill, Alan worked for other companies before coming to Post-Newsweek. But it's fair to say he's spent most of his career at PNS.
I wanted you to hear from Alan to get a sense of how Post-Newsweek's
strength in news, ratings, and revenue - and our willingness to be unconventional
in the management of our stations - is paying off for Post-Newsweek stations
and for shareholders.
