Just In: Piette Retires, 4 Brings in Lund

Published by admin on October 17, 2012. 2 Comments

WBZ and TV38 general manager Ed Piette is retiring on Friday after six years with the network-owned duopoly.  The man responsible for dumping the poorly received CBS4 branding is calling it quits after forty-three years in the business, according to TVSpy.

His successor, former NBC O&O bigshot Mark Lund, will be stepping in beginning next week.  Lund, the son of former CBS president Peter Lund, told B&C, “I am honored to have this terrific opportunity to rejoin CBS and come back to the stations where I got my start and an area that my wife Amy, a Boston College grad, and I have long considered our home.”

Lund began his television career as an intern at WBZ in the 1980s.
