ABC News has tapped Chris Dinan to serve as the new Executive Producer of World News Tonight with David Muir.
Dinan will step into the shoes vacated by Almin Karamehmedovic who was elevated to ABC News President earlier this year.
In his new role, Dinan — who joined the network in 2011 after previously working at CBS News and becoming senior broadcast producer of CBS Evening News — will oversee all aspects of ABC World News Tonight with David Muir.
“Chris is an accomplished producer and gifted storyteller who has been a part of the World News Tonight DNA for over 13 years, helping to shape the newscast and deliver the best reporting to serve our viewers,” said Karamehmedovic. “His strong leadership and deep collaboration with David and the entire team across ABC News will continue to take the broadcast to new heights.”
During his time working on the program, Chris Dinan has led the show to Emmy Award wins in the Outstanding Live News Program category and Edward R. Murrow Awards for Best Newscast in both 2023 and 2024.
In addition to Dinan’s promotion, senior producers Enjoli Francis, Jennifer Metz and Brian Reiferson will take on additional live broadcast producing duties in the control room for the evening newscast.
