KMIZ-TV, the ABC affiliate in mid-Missouri, has a new general manager. Gene Steinburg, who had been a station manager for a TV station in Boston, replaces Randy Wright, who resigned from JW Broadcasting in August.

Alta Communications, JW Broadcasting's investment group, made the announcement today, Steinburg's first official day on the job. Alta operates ABC 17, FOX 22, MyZouTV, ABC 17 STORMTRACK 24/7, KMIZ.com and 360Columbia.com in Mid-Missouri.

Steinburg, 53, has more than 20 years of television management experience. He had been at WZMY-TV in Boston, another Alta Communications station, since 2004.
