He’s most recently served as the VP/GM of the Sinclair Broadcast Group-owned FOX affiliate serving Omaha and The CW Network affiliate it runs via a local marketing agreement with Mitts Telecasting Co.
Now, after nearly 11 years in Mid-America, this 30-year local TV veteran is heading to the Rio Grande Valley for a new role with Nexstar Media Group.
Jeff Miller is taking the role, ending his run as VP/GM of KPTM-TV in Omaha and of Mitts-owned partner KXVO-TV in Omaha.
He’ll now oversee Nexstar’s KVEO-23, a dual NBC/CBS affiliate (CBS airs on the DT2 signal, and has been there since 2020). He’ll also oversee the services agreement Nexstar has with Mission Broadcasting, allowing it to operate KGBT-TV, which has a series of digital subchannels using PSIP 4.2-4.6 using digital channel 18.
KGBT-4 had been the home of CBS until it shifted to Channel 23.2.
Miller reports to Julie Pruett, SVP/Regional Manager for Nexstar Media Inc.’s broadcasting division.
“Jeff’s proven leadership experience, his innovative approach to developing new local content for viewers and digital users, and his results-driven approach, make him the ideal candidate to lead our broadcasting and digital operations in Brownsville/Harlingen and oversee our relationship in the market with Mission Broadcasting,” Pruett said. “Importantly, Jeff has consistently demonstrated a deep understanding and natural talent for developing effective cross-platform marketing solutions for advertisers and community partners. His record of high performance over 30 years will serve him well.”
Miller has also been VP/GM of KMEG-TV and KPTH-TV in Sioux City, Iowa.
He said, “I am grateful to Nexstar for this opportunity and for the chance to continue the legacy of service provided to the local community by these critically important media properties. Nexstar’s emphasis on localism, together with its ability to forge unique advertising and marketing solutions for its clients is an unbeatable combination. I can’t wait to get started.”
