Scripps Names Interim CFO
Scripps President & CEO Adam Symson said of Wesolowski, “During his first week with Scripps, Tim arranged financing for our acquisition of nine McGraw Hill stations, and since then he has helped lead us through the purchase of Granite TV stations, the country’s first double-spin, double-merge transaction with the former Journal Communications that divested us of newspapers, a $400 million debt offering, and the acquisitions of Newsy, Midroll and Cracked, and most recently, the four Katz multicast networks. Tim’s expertise and business acumen have been instrumental in strengthening our company’s financial foundation, and we greatly appreciate his service.”
Knutson, who has worked for Scripps since 2005, has deep experience in finance, accounting and human resources, was recently promoted to Chief Strategy Officer, taking on corporate development. She had also served as Chief Administrative Officer and retains those responsibilities: leading enterprise-wide strategic planning, consumer insights, human resources, information technology and corporate communications/investor relations.
