Cury will continue to lead KENS in San Antonio
MCLEAN, Va. – TEGNA Inc. (NASDAQ: NXST) today named Tom Cury president and general manager of KVUE, its ABC affiliate in Austin. Cury continues to lead KENS, TEGNA’s CBS affiliate in San Antonio, and now oversees news, content, sales, marketing, digital operations and community engagement at both stations. Cury replaces Byron Wilkinson at KVUE, who was recently promoted to vice president of ad sales for TEGNA’s Texas and Mid-South regions.
Cury has a track record of building new streaming content, leading statewide projects and keeping his station deeply connected to the community. Under his leadership at KENS, the station launched innovative local sports programming, including Border Cowboys, a multipart streaming documentary following a high school soccer team, and took the lead on TEGNA’s statewide streaming show, Texas High School Football Now. KENS was also honored with the 2026 Texas Governor’s Award for community service, recognizing the station’s decade-long commitment to volunteering in local schools.
“Tom will bring our Austin and San Antonio teams closer together, creating more opportunities to collaborate while ensuring each station continues to reflect and serve its unique community,” said Brad Ramsey senior vice president and group general manager at TEGNA. “Building on the strengths of both stations, Tom will help us accelerate momentum, deepen audience connection, and create even greater value for our customers and partners.”
Before joining KENS in 2015, Cury served as director of sales at TEGNA’s WFAA in Dallas and has held sales leadership positions in Baltimore, Miami, Los Angeles and New York. His career in media began in New York City as an account executive with Petry Television, followed by a distinguished tenure with Westinghouse Broadcasting and CBS.
“At KENS, I’ve worked closely with our team to turn good ideas into solutions that drive results for our advertisers and into programming that our audiences seek out and enjoy,” Cury said. “KVUE shares that innovative spirit and I’m ready to work with the team there to continue to create content and coverage that serves Austin.”
A native of New York City, Cury earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communications from American University in Washington, D.C.
