Scripps CEO Rich Boehne to retire in 2017

Posted

Rich Boehne will retire from his role as president and chief executive of the Cincinnati-based E.W. Scripps Co. next year and his successor will be the company's chief digital officer Adam Symson.

Scripps said Boehne will leave his post during the second half of 2017. But in the meantime, Symson will begin serving as chief operating officer in preparation to become the next president and CEO. In the new role, Symson will report to Boehne and oversee the company's broadcast television, radio and digital media divisions.

Boehne, 60, has been president and CEO since 2008 and was elected chairman of the board in 2013. The board expects Boehne will continue as its chairman following the transition later next year.
