At year’s end, he will retire from the privately held owner of broadcast TV stations overseen by Michael J. Hayes. “Roger Keating brought to Hearst Television his infectious curiosity and keen entrepreneurial instincts,” said Hays, who serves as Hearst Television President. Keating joined Hearst Television to lead its nascent digital media unit. During his watch, Hearst Television digital properties achieved market leadership in most of the markets in which they operate. In 2015 he co-founded and served as inaugural chairman of NewsOn, an alliance of six broadcast TV group owners to bring local-news content to streaming platforms.
