Carol Rueppel (pictured), the vice president and general manager at KMSP for the past 13 years, announced her retirement Wednesday afternoon. Rueppel, who also oversaw WFTC My29, will be replaced by Sheila Oliver who has been director of sales for the two stations since 2001.
Before coming to the Twin Cities, Rueppel was the general manager of the Fox-owned station in Milwaukee.
"Carol has been a successful leader and respecteed colleague whose 17-year career with Fox is filled with many accomplishments," said Jack Abernethy, the CEO of Fox Television Stations, which has 28 stations across the country. "We want to thank her for her many years of dedication and wish her much happiness in her retirement. I am disappointed that she is leaving us but respect her decision and she will be truly missed."
Oliver previously worked in Phoenix, Milwaukee, Richmond and Toledo.
