Nexstar has appointed Beth Feldman as Senior Vice President of Network Communications at The CW, replacing Paul Hewitt, the younger broadcaster’s longtime chief of communications.
Feldman will effectively oversee the program’s internal and external communications and publicity immediately, and will take charge of Hewitt, who left the network after 22 years in the job in the wake of the channel’s acquisition by Nexstar.
In a statement about his exit, Hewitt said, “Over the past 20 years, I’ve been incredibly fortunate to have played a role, albeit a small one, in helping to shape, influence and even define popular culture through the series we’ve created and shared with our passionate fans.” This job has been an absolute gift and I am forever grateful to all my fellow CW family, producers and show talents so many that I have been happy to work alongside and above all, a global PR team who I am proud to say have always been the best among the best in I look forward to jumping headlong into the next chapter of my career, and I wish Dennis, Sean, Beth, and everyone at The CW and Nexstar all the best as they guide this network into its bold and new future.”
“Beth’s deep association with the television entertainment industry and her extensive experience creating successful promotional and outreach campaigns for a wide range of news, talk, and entertainment programming make her an invaluable resource for The CW,” new CW President Dennis Miller. “She is an innovative and creative thinker with well-established relationships with important media across the country and here in Hollywood. I look forward to the energy she will bring to our communications efforts as she continues to build on the solid foundation that Paul Hewitt and his team have laid over the past 22 years. We thank Paul For all his help, we wish him well.”
