Palm Springs, Calif. — KMIR6 and KPSE My13 have announced that Alison Shaw has been promoted to General Sales Manager for both stations.

Shaw joined KMIR/KPSE four years ago from NBC, beginning as a local sales assistant before quickly being promoted to account executive. She was elevated to Local Sales Manager earlier this year. 

“All along the way, Shaw has demonstrated leadership, strong market knowledge and a stellar work ethic to succeed as a general sales manager for Journal Broadcast Group,” said Vice President and General Manager Lyle Schulze. 

In her short term as Local Sales Manager, Shaw helped grow the stations’ sales and team by recruiting and hiring three new account executives, orchestrating a large move of the sales department to increase employee productivity, and guided the sales team in achieving five consecutive period budgets in 2010.

KMIR-TV and KPSE-TV are owned by Journal Broadcast Group.
