New director chosen for MediaSource
The Chronicle's Matt Stiles reports that Houston MediaSource has hired a new director:
Fred Fichman, who has experience in both public and corporate television, was selected last week to lead the nonprofit that manages the operation.
Scheduled to begin his new job Aug. 28, Fichman will inherit an organization plagued last year by complaints over a few programs with nudity and profanity. Channel officials also have seen cuts in their budget and decline in staff morale.
Fichman, 59, said Thursday he's eager to start the new job and isn't focused on past controversies.
"I'm looking forward to meeting everybody, all the stakeholders — the people who approve the budget and the people who have contact with MediaSource," he said. "I would like to see it used as a resource for them."
Stiles informs that he's working on a profile of Fichman for next week.
