Just over a week after closing on its purchase of WHO-TV/13 (Des Moines) as part of a larger merger with Tribune Media, Nexstar has named a new general manager for the station.
The company announced Monday that Robert “Bobby” Totsch has been hired as WHO-TV’s GM effective immediately. Totsch most recently worked for Sinclair’s group in Mobile, AL, and has also worked in the Kansas City and St. Louis markets.
It appears that Totsch replaces Dale R. Woods, who left WHO two years ago.
Nexstar had previously owned ABC affiliate WOI-TV/5 (Ames-Des Moines), which it spun off to Tegna as part of the Tribune purchase.
