With 20-year veteran of Twentieth Television Bob Cesa retiring in June 2010, Judy Kenny has been named executive VP of ad sales for Twentieth TV.

As Kenny takes over, Cesa will remain on hand through the transition handling new business development for Twentieth. Kenny will answer directly to Greg Meidel, president of Twentieth Television, who made today’s annoucement. In her new position, Kenny will oversee all sales initiatives for Twentieth Television, including sales for MyNetworkTV, Debmar and Carsey-Warner.

Of Cesa, Meidel said, “[His] contributions to Twentieth have been extraordinary. For the better part of 20 years, Bob has continuously built impressive partnerships and relationships, always taking a forward-thinking, innovative approach to the television ad sales business. I could not be more thrilled with the seamless passing of the torch between these two leaders in the world of television ad sales.”
