Tim Ingram : My Final A Better Region 8

Four and a half years ago I became the General Manager of KAIT and began this editorial series I called "A Better Region 8." Although I have been accused of being a little preachy from time to time, my intent has always been to encourage thought and initiate conversation promoting the betterment of our part of the world. Region 8 is a very special place and that makes it extremely difficult to stand before you and offer my final commentary. You see, because of the good work of the team we have assembled here at KAIT, I have been blessed to receive a promotion with our company . My family and I will be moving north to Cape Girardeau, MO where I will be General Manager of the Raycom Media station there.  I have been very fortunate in my 20 plus year career to work with some fantastic broadcasters and you should know that KAIT has some of the best I have ever had the pleasure to work with-both in front of the camera and behind the scenes. The good folks here make this one of the top small market stations in the country. That ‘can do’ attitude can be seen not only at KAIT, but in every town across Region 8.  That’s what makes us so special.  I am blessed to have had the opportunity to serve as the leader of this wonderful team and call Region 8 home.  For four and a half years our commitment to you has been to be a little bit better each and every day. I hope that has been evident. You will never know how much I have appreciated your inviting me into your home every week; How much I have appreciated your comments, even when we disagreed, and how much I have loved serving as the general manager of your television station. It is never easy to say goodbye, so I won't. Until we meet again,  I hope you will all continue to make this a Better Region 8.
