Adam Chase, VP and general manager of WTKR-WGNT Norfolk, Virginia, would rather be up on his feet than seated at his desk. “You can’t be an office dweller in this job,” Chase said. “You’re serving two communities, the internal one in your office and your community. So I like to be walking around, listening, talking to people, learning what’s happening inside. Too often in this role, you get bogged down with just the business of this station and you lose sight of the people.”
