VANCOUVER – Tom Haberstroh has been promoted to vice-president and general manager for CTV British Columbia. With this appointment, effective immediately, Haberstroh moves back to his native Vancouver.
Previously, he was vice-president, CTV News, in Toronto. Haberstroh is taking over for Jim Rusnak, who will soon assume another role with CTV, which the company has not yet announced.
"I think it is a tremendous opportunity in a burgeoning market, especially with the upcoming 2010 Olympic Winter Games," said Haberstroh, in a release. "Over the next few years I expect it will prove to be one of the most exciting jobs in Canadian television. And, of course, it will be great to move back home."
In his 23 years with CTV, Haberstroh has been executive producer, CTV News Specials, field producing for the Ottawa Bureau, executive producer, Canada AM and executive producer, CTV Newsnet.
"This is a natural evolution for Tom, and his expertise will be invaluable in continuing CTV’s growth in British Columbia," said Elaine Ali, senior vice-president, CTV Stations Group, in making the announcement today.
