Fox Television Stations has announced significant leadership transitions within its Midwest broadcasting operations. These changes follow the upcoming retirement of Sheila Oliver, senior vice president and general manager of WFLD Fox 32 and Fox+ Chicago.
Glenn Berk, currently serving as senior vice president and general manager of WITI Fox 6 Milwaukee, will assume Oliver's position in Chicago. Simultaneously, Mim Davey has been promoted to senior vice president and regional general manager, overseeing both WITI Fox 6 Milwaukee and the KMSP Fox 9 and WFTC Fox 9+ Minneapolis duopolies.
Both Berk and Davey will report to Jack Abernethy, chief executive officer of Fox Television Stations. Abernethy stated, “We thank Sheila for being a driving force at FTS for more than 20 years and congratulate her on a distinguished career spanning multiple markets. Mim and Glenn are both seasoned Fox Television Station veterans, with deep experience in news and sales, making them ideal leaders to build on our momentum – particularly in local journalism and digital growth. We’re fortunate to have a strong bench of internal talent, and I’m confident both will continue to lead with vision and success.”
Berk brings 25 years of experience with Fox Television Stations, progressing through various sales and management roles in Chicago, Memphis, Philadelphia, and New York. His background includes the vice president and general sales manager positions at Fox-owned stations in Chicago and Memphis.
Davey has a two-decade career with the Minneapolis duopoly, holding key newsroom leadership positions, including assistant news director and vice president/news director, before her recent role as senior vice president and general manager. Oliver, retiring at the end of the month, held general manager roles in Seattle and Minneapolis during her 23-year tenure with the company. Her broadcasting journey started 40 years ago in Toledo, Ohio.
