CBS News’ Los Angeles market has some new leadership as the company announced Mike Dello Stritto has been named vice president and news director at CBS News and Stations’ local businesses in LA.
Dello Stritto will remain in California after serving as the news director at CBS News and Stations’ local businesses in Sacramento. He had spent almost 13 years of his local news career with CBS Stations, starting in 2006, working for three-and-a-half years as a reporter at KOVR in Sacramento.
“I am excited to join the team at CBS 2, KCAL 9, and CBS News Los Angeles,” Dello Stritto said. “Harnessing the power of two TV stations and our CBS News Los Angeles stream allows us to deliver an unparalleled local product.”
“I am grateful for the support I have received from Joel, Jennifer, and the other members of the CBS News and Stations leadership team, and I feel very fortunate to be succeeding my friend and esteemed colleague, Andrea.”
Dello Stritto is filling the position left behind by CBS Stations executive Andrea Parquet-Taylor, who was named vice president, CW and independent stations news director last month.
“Thankfully, we didn’t have to go very far to find an ideal leader,” Joel Vilmenay, president and general manager of CBS Los Angeles, said. “Mike joins us after having done exceptional work at our stations in Sacramento and San Francisco.”
“We are excited to welcome him to our CBS Los Angeles team as we work to ensure a smooth transition and build on the success we have had on our broadcast, streaming, and digital platforms.”
