19/43 gets new GM from Nashville

Dominic Mancuso

Dominic Mancuso, general manager of THREE TV stations in Nashville, will replace the retiring Bill Applegate as vice president and general manager at Raycom Media's two Cleveland stations, WOIO Channel 19 and WUAB Channel 43. He will start Tuesday, May 20.

Joliet, Illinois native Mancuso is general manager of Fox’s WZTV, MyNet’s WUXP and CW’s WNAB. He came to Nashville from Chicago.

Fox’s WJW Channel 8 is looking for a new president and general manager because Greg Easterly, who had that position since 2007, left for the same titles with Chicago's WGN Channel 9.
