WIVB-TV’s New GM and Media Transition

WIVB-TV’s new general manager, Joed Viera, arrives amid major media shake-ups tied to Nexstar and The Buffalo News. Viera, a longtime Nexstar exec formerly leading KRON-TV in San Francisco, hasn’t yet been introduced to staff—but her appointment signals a strategic pivot. Former GM Robert Poth, who moved from Albany, is now stepping down after three years. Meanwhile, The News’ editorial board confirms no content will be produced on a fading transitional platform—everything’s shifting to WIVB-TV for broader coverage.
