KDKA has hired a news director -- Marshall Adams, a Pittsburgh-area native who has worked at news/talk WBT-AM in Charlotte, N.C., since 2002. Adams worked here at Metro Networks and was assignment editor for WPXI-TV, and also worked at KTRH-AM in Houston.
Adams doesn't replace anyone at the station: The news director responsibilities were part of program director Steve Hansen's job description. But with the ongoing changes, the station needed a dedicated news director in order for Hansen to focus on talk programming, said Keith Clark, vice president of programming for CBS Radio Pittsburgh.
