WVUA Official hired to lead Alabama Public Television

WVUA-TV

The executive board of Alabama Public Television voted unanimously to hire WVUA-TV General Manager Roy Clem as its new executive director. The selection follows the controversial firing of former APT Chief Allan Pizzato and one of his lieutenants. The oustre is reportedly due to disagreement between Pizzato and members of the APT board on the airing of conservative christian programming. Mr. Pizzato is suing the board on the grounds that his firing was in violation of state law. Members of the board dispute that assertion, as well as the disagreement over programming that allegedly led to Pizzato's termination.
