Ken Ritchie

General Sales Manager

TODAY'S 6 KIVI-TV

Boise, Idaho

"My story may be somewhat unusual. I started at KIVI in January of 1975 as a local sales person. I resigned my position as general sales manager in 1998. In that 24 year period, I worked for 3 different owners. I left to go into real estate with no intention of returning to the broadcasting industry. To make a long story short, when I learned Journal Broadcast Group had purchased KIVI, one thing lead to another and I have been back at the station since January 2002."

"The only reason I came back to the broadcasting business was because of Journal Broadcast Group. After having researched the company and talking to upper management it became very apparent that it was a company with focus, integrity and with the management horsepower to grow the company."

"The Journal philosophy creates loyal employees, loyal viewers and listeners and loyal customers. The Journal way of doing business is a point of differentiation; it sets Journal apart from many other companies."
