NORFOLK, Va.--Jun. 3--The owner of WVEC has named Mario A. Hewitt to be the ABC television affiliate's general manager.
Hewitt has logged nine years in sales management with the station's parent, A.H. Belo Corp. He replaces Richard J. Keilty, who in May left for WCNC, an NBC affiliate in Charlotte, also owned by Belo. Hewitt has served as acting general manager since Keilty left.
Hewitt, who joined WVEC in 1995 as director of sales and marketing, takes over a local news operation that is top-rated at 5 and 6 p.m. This year the station also joined forces with The Virginian-Pilot in Norfolk to launch LNC, a 24-hour local news cable channel.
