WLS-Channel 7.<\/a><\/p>\nHere is the text of Wert\u2019s memo announcing the appointment:<\/strong><\/p>\nGood morning:<\/em><\/p>\nI am happy and proud to announce our new leader in Chicago; \u00a0Paul Rennie. Paul is completing his 13th year with Tribune, and after over 10 successful years at our Seattle duopoly, he has performed admirably as our VP and General Manager in Indianapolis. After only 6 months in his role at our Indy duop FOX\/CW,\u00a0we gave him an athletic challenge of switching the CW to CBS, and getting a news product on the air. Paul and his team had just over 4 months to strategize, build out and make their first impression with CBS 4\u00a0news (they also had to protect FOX 59 while launching.) Getting the Indy Colts, and keeping a 3rd station viable (sans the CW) were other wins. Under his leadership, our Indy team has made us all proud.<\/em>
\n\u00a0<\/em>
\nAdditionally,\u00a0 earlier in his career, Paul spent 8 years in various sales roles in Chicago, including WLS TV. He has a strong sense of the Chicago market, and WGN 9\/CLTV. He also has many great relationships here.<\/em>
\n\u00a0<\/em>
\nPlease join me in welcoming Paul and his family to his new role in Chicago.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/em>
