Grad named next CFO of WFAA’s, KHOU’s parent company

Carey Hendrickson, BBA ’85, will assume the role of Chief Financial Officer (CFO) for Belo Corp. next month following his predecessor’s retirement. You may not know the name “Belo Corp.,” but odds are you are very familiar with the company’s work.

With annual revenues of over $700 million, Belo Corp. owns 20 television stations in 15 markets, including Dallas-Fort Worth (WFAA), Houston (KHOU), San Antonio (KENS) and Austin (KVUE). The company also owns Texas Cable News (TXCN), available across the state, as well as broadcast stations in cities such as Seattle, St. Louis and New Orleans.

Hendrickson has helped lead Belo in various capacities since 1992, most recently as senior vice president and chief accounting officer. His wife, Stacie, is also a Baylor graduate (BSED ’86), and the couple has a daughter who is a current Baylor student.

Sic ’em, Carey!
