Sinclair names New News Director

KOKH (Oklahoma City) has a new News Director.

The Sinclair station announced that Barbara Merckx is the new News Director. She was the News Director and a professor at the Gaylord School of Journalism at the University of Oklahoma.

KOKH also produces the news for Sinclair’s KTUL in Tulsa. KTUL was gutted by Sinclair and is now a shell of its former self.

I’m not sure that leaving the school gig was the best move, but we will see how it works out.
