"I've decide to retire from Journal to pursue starting my own company, outside of Milwaukee," said Doug Kiel. "I've really enjoyed my time at Journal and have always felt it was a real privilege to lead the Journal Broadcast Group. I'll especially miss the great people I've worked with and wish them all the best in the future."

"Doug has had a terrific career at our company including radio and television station management as well as corporate duties working with other Journal Communications companies," said Steven J. Smith, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "I would like to take this opportunity to thank Doug for his dedication to Journal Communications, for sharing his expertise and talent in both radio and television, and for his years of being a wonderful professional colleague and friend. Doug and the entire Journal Broadcast Group team have done a great job building our local market business across the country. The commitment to excellence and community service will continue and is a legacy of Doug's service."

After Kiel retires, Smith will assume leadership of the group for the foreseeable future.

"We are fortunate to have a very talented cadre of regional and market leaders within our Broadcast Group, and I look forward to working even more closely with all of them," said Smith.
