Mack McLaughlin
I've had the pleasure of working with Tim twice at two different Stations, each time Tim created great work environments for his Teams and while allowing everyone to contribute he kept them focused on the goal and the results have been spectacular.

Tim was the main reason why I wanted to sign-on with WZZM. I respect his leadership skills and news judgement. His ability to transform a newsroom based on the changes in the industry has been inspiring. Even though he's in a managment position, Tim was always willing to jump in and help the Information Center whenever needed. I've seen him produce cut-ins in times of breaking news and even volunteer to shoot something himself during times of low staffing. When he tells his staff he has an "open-door policy," it's the truth. He's willing to LISTEN to his employees. Additionally, he's also very open to helping people figure our their career path. He's one of my mentors and I've been very lucky to get his advice as often as I need it.

I am leading the newsroom for the Sinclair-owned CBS affiliate in the Queen City. Over the past 5 years, we have lost more than 500 years of television news experience, most of that to retirement. Despite that, we remain at or near the top of TV and digital ratings. We research our customers regularly and use that information to fine tune our strategy. We constantly produce enterprise, relevant, accountability-based content. I am leading the newsroom for the Sinclair-owned CBS affiliate in the Queen City.
