TEGNA has named Brian Gregory president and general manager of WCNC in Charlotte and WFMY in Greensboro, North Carolina.
The October 28 announcement gives Gregory responsibility for operations, content, sales, digital and streaming initiatives, and community engagement at the NBC and CBS affiliates, respectively.
