KVVU Las Vegas Ups Michael Korr To GM

Meredith-owned Fox affiliate KVVU Las Vegas (DMA 39) today promoted Michael Korr to vice president and general manager, effective immediately.

Korr currently serves as general sales manager and replaces Todd Brown, who was promoted to Meredith’s local media group SVP and chief revenue officer in October 2018.

“Michael has been an outstanding member of the Fox5 Las Vegas sales team for more than 15 years, including leading the No. 1 advertising revenue generating team in the Las Vegas market,” said Meredith Local Media Group President Patrick McCreery. “Michael excels at generating new business. With his drive and tremendous vision, I am confident he will be a great leader for the Fox5 Las Vegas team.”

Korr joined KVVU as an account executive in 2003. He was promoted to local sales manager in 2008.  He was named general sales manager in 2017.

“I am thankful for this opportunity and look forward to Fox5’s continued service to the Las Vegas community,” said Korr. “Local is at the heart of our brand. I know we will continue to build on the success achieved under the leadership of Todd Brown, and I am proud to lead what I believe is the most talented broadcast team in the business.”

Korr earned a Bachelor of Arts in interdisciplinary studies with concentrations in communication and small business management/marketing from Arizona State University.
