Word came out this afternoon that WFXT FOX 25 news director Lee Rosenthal has left the Boston station.
Lee announced the move in the following email to staff:
"Hi everyone,In case you weren't able to join us for the announcement in studio B, we've decided it's time for a change, and I will be leaving the station. I just wanted to thank everyone, in all departments, for all of their great work and support of our incredible news department. It's been an amazing experience to work with such a talented team, and I have no doubt the station is well positioned for great success. Please stay in touch, and I wish you nothing but the best! Lee"
Lee joined FOX 25 in October 2014 from KTVU FOX 2 in San Francisco when Cox Media Group took over the station.
The station made some improvements in the morning ratings, but ratings declined as the Cox mandated changes in on-air talent and news presentation took effect.
In addition to being the news director at KTVU, Lee has also been the news director for WXIN-TV in Indianapolis for four years. He’s also worked in Columbus, OH, Tampa, Knoxville, and Binghamton, NY.
A replacement has not yet been named.
