Sinclair Broadcast Group today announced two General Managers in
Pennsylvania.
Jason Wildenstein has been named Vice President and General
Manager of WHP in Harrisburg, where he began his media career.
Wildenstein was most recently the VP and GM at WJAC in
Johnstown-Altoona-State College.
Jason Chavis, who was previously the General Sales Manager at
WJAC, working alongside Wildenstein, has been promoted to Vice
President and General Manager of the station.
In making the announcement, Rob Weisbord, Sinclair’s Chief
Operating Officer and President of Local Media said, “Jason
Wildenstein and Jason Chavis were an unbeatable team at WJAC. As
Jason Wildenstein shifts to Harrisburg to lead the station and
returns home to WHP, Jason Chavis will move into the VP/GM position
at WJAC where he has spent the last several years growing his
responsibilities. Both are strong, innovative, strategic thinkers
and we’re excited to have them at the helm of these stations.”
Jason Wildenstein joined Sinclair in 2019, after serving as the
Vice President and General Manager of WTXL ABC 27, in Tallahassee,
FL. Wildenstein first joined WTXL in 2004 where he served in many
different leadership positions within the company, including
Director of Operations and Production, Director of News, and
Director of Interactive Media.
Wildenstein grew up outside Wilkes-Barre and attended Lock Haven
University where he graduated with a BA focused on
Broadcast/Journalism and Mass communications.
Commenting on his new role, Wildenstein said, “I am both honored
and excited to be returning to WHP-TV where my career in media
first began as a Master Control Operator. I am truly looking
forward to working with the amazing team there at the station and
getting to know the community and market. Taking on the role of
Vice President and General Manager honestly feels like coming full
circle, and I am deeply committed to lead and build on the
excellence and success of WHP.”

Jason Chavis joined Sinclair and WJAC in 2018 as the Local Sales
Manager, later becoming the Linear and Digital Sales Manager before
being elevated to the General Sales Manager in 2021. Prior to
joining WJAC, he spent 14 years as an Account Executive at WTAE in
Pittsburgh. Chavis holds a degree in communications from the
University of Pittsburgh, where he was a scholar athlete and Pitt
Football Team Captain in 1996.
“Sight, sound, motion, emotion, and the power of demonstration
have fascinated me since I was a young child in the eastern suburbs
of Pittsburgh, hearing that infamous WJAC slogan ‘Serving Millions
from Atop the Alleghenies,’ said Chavis. “I’m excited, humbled and
honored to use my Sports, Sales and Digital First experiences to
build upon the success of the station that inspired me in my youth,
and to take this opportunity to be a true community resource, to so
many good people.”
