Carolyn Mungo Upped to President and GM of WFAA

Carolyn Mungo has been named president and general manager at Tegna’s Dallas ABC affiliate WFAA and KFAA serving Dallas-Ft. Worth.

She’ll continue to report to Brad Ramsey, senior vice president of media operations, who oversees multiple TEGNA stations and the company’s sports rights agreements.

Mungo has been the WFAA vice president and station manager since 2019. Before that, Mungo was executive news director for seven years.

“No one is better suited than Carolyn to lead the WFAA and KFAA team into the future,” said Ramsey. “Carolyn’s exceptional leadership and proven track record of building a trustworthy media brand across this region will continue to ensure our viewers and advertisers are well-served.”

“I am honored to carry on the leadership of this talented team,” said Mungo. “I’ve had a lifelong passion for great journalism and serving local communities and am so proud to be able to continue that mission right here in DFW in this new role.”

Under Mungo’s leadership, WFAA has been honored with ten National Edward R. Murrow awards, including WFAA’s first for Overall Excellence in 2023, two duPont-Columbia awards, and three IRE awards for excellence in investigative journalism. WFAA received a National Association of Broadcasters Leadership Foundation Service to America Award in 2022 for the station’s ongoing commitment to raising adoption awareness. Five of the last seven Station of the Year awards from the National Press Photographers Association have been awarded to the WFAA team.
