Perry Pace will lead all local news operations for Chattanooga, Tennessee NBC affiliate WRCB.
Pace was the news director at WOI in Des Moines, Iowa. He’s also worked as an assistant news director at stations in Birmingham and Indianapolis and as an executive producer in Houston.
“Local news is more important than ever. It’s the thread that connects neighborhoods, informs families, and drives meaningful change,” said Pace. “I am honored to join a station and family-run broadcasting company with such a rich legacy and look forward to working with this talented team to tell stories that matter most to the communities we serve.”
“We found our perfect fit,” said Local 3 president and general manager, Callie Starnes. “We conducted a nationwide search, but Perry’s knowledge and understanding of the Tennessee Valley and what makes it special stood out, as did his commitment to local journalism and desire to lead by example. I have great confidence in Perry’s ability to lead Local 3 forward and carry out our mission to be the Tennessee Valley’s #1 source for local news.”
