Sinclair Broadcast Group today announced that Stefan Schellhas
has been named Vice President and General Manager of WKRC/Local 12
and WSTR/Star 64, Sinclair’s owned and/or operated television
stations in Cincinnati.
Schellhas has held several leadership roles at the stations,
most recently serving as Station Manager. Prior positions include
Director of Sales, General Sales Manager and Local Sales
Manager.
In making the announcement, Rob Weisbord, Sinclair’s Chief
Operating Officer and President of Broadcast said, “Stefan has over
twenty years of broadcast and sales management experience and has
consistently demonstrated exceptional leadership skills while
achieving success in a variety of roles at the stations. With Jon
Lawhead’s retirement, we are confident the stations are in
excellent hands under Stefan’s leadership.”
“Local 12 is a trusted brand that’s significant to the
community. The station’s employees from engineering and business
operations to our content center are responsible for that success.
I know from experience that you can’t succeed unless you surround
yourself with people smarter than you. That’s the best part about
this opportunity for me. I’ve been here long enough to see that
I’ll be leading, and more importantly, supporting, a group that is
exceptionally smart, talented and dedicated to our brand. I’m
humbled to have this opportunity and I look forward to being a good
steward to our employees, clients, viewers, and community,” said
Schellhas.
Schellhas holds a degree in communications from Xavier
