(From today's Milwaukee Business Journal)

Mark Strachota, who has been the general sales manager of Milwaukee NBC affiliate WTMJ-TV (Channel 4) since 1991, was promoted to vice president and general manager, the station announced Monday.

Strachota has been acting general manager of the station since Aug. 5 when Jim Prather left WTMJ to become general manager of KTNV-TV, Las Vegas. Both stations are owned by Journal Broadcast Group, which is part of Milwaukee-based Journal Communications Inc.

Strachota joined WTMJ in 1979 as an account executive and became national sales manager in 1986 before his appointment as general sales manager in 1991.

Are they still looking for a new ND?

Kiernan is a lucky man, WCCO is a great station.
