Journal Broadcast Group's realignment of management responsibilities this week resulted in a promotion for Omaha-based manager Steve Wexler.

Steve Wexler was promoted from Senior Vice President for Television and Radio Operations to "Executive Vice President" for the same position. He also became responsible for the Knoxville radio market.

A native of Shorewood, Wisc., Wexler has worked for Journal in several leadership positions since returning to the company in 1993 after a stint with King Broadcasting. Before working as an on-air talent and program manager for King, he held on-air positions at Journal stations in Milwaukee, where the company is headquartered.

Journal owns and operates 36 radio stations and nine television stations in 12 states and operates two television stations under local marketing agreements.

Journal made adjustments in its management alignment to heighten its focus on Interactive and New Media opportunities, said Doug Kiel, President of Journal Communications Inc., and Vice Chairman and CEO of Journal Broadcast Group, Inc.

"This realignment of several of our key executives should help us take advantage of opportunities in the Interactive and New Media space, while at the same time maintaining a strong focus in our core broadcast business," Kiel said in a press release.
