Gray Television, Inc. (“Gray”) (NYSE: GTN) announced today
the retirement of decorated broadcast veteran and Senior Vice
President-Local Media Brad Streit on February 12, 2020. Upon
his retirement, WVUE New Orleans, Louisiana, General Manager Tim
Ingram will be promoted to Senior Vice President-Local Media and
assume Brad’s role in overseeing numerous television markets for
Gray.
Gray proudly recognizes the distinguished career of Brad
Streit. Brad’s passion for broadcasting began more than four
decades ago. While Brad was a junior at Stephen F. Austin State
University, the Texas native worked as a camera operator at KTRE in
Lufkin, Texas. His career took him to stations in Ohio,
Mississippi, and Texas. He served as a general manager for Liberty
until eleven years ago, when he began to oversee a region of
stations for Raycom following its acquisition of Liberty. For
the past year, Brad has overseen an even larger region of stations
for Gray following its acquisition of Raycom.
Brad has served as Chairman of the Texas Association of
Broadcasters and previously held positions on both the ABC and CBS
affiliate boards. Over the years, he has received numerous awards
for his leadership and community involvement, including the Texas
Association of Broadcasters 2018 Pioneer of the Year Award.
“Brad represents the best in local broadcasters. A big part of
his legacy is his ability to identify and train future
leaders. That comes full circle now with Tim,” said Hilton
Howell Jr., Gray’s Chairman and CEO.
Tim Ingram started his broadcast career more than
twenty-five years ago as a camera operator at KAIT in Jonesboro,
Arkansas, while a student at Arkansas State University. His career
took him to stations in Arkansas, Kentucky, Missouri, and Texas,
where he served as Director of Operations and Marketing at KLTV in
Tyler, Texas under then-General Manager Brad Streit. He has
served as the General Manager of Gray’s KFVS in Cape Girardeau,
Missouri and KAIT, before assuming the helm of WVUE in New
Orleans. During his tenure, WVUE became the market’s ratings
leader in November 2018, ending decades of single station
dominance.
“Tim has a strong commitment to quality journalism and community
service. What he and his team have done in New Orleans from both a
ratings and business standpoint, is nothing short of remarkable,”
said Pat LaPlatney, Gray’s President and Co-CEO. Tim has
received numerous industry awards for his contributions. Most
recently, Broadcasting and Cable honored Tim as 2019 General
Manager of the Year, markets 26-50, for his accomplishments at
WVUE.
