Dispatch Broadcast Group announced Thursday it moved the national the national sales representation for its two TV stations to Katz Television Group's Eagle Television Sales. The two stations, WBNS, the CBS affiliate in Columbus, Ohio; and WTHR, the NBC affiliate in Indianapolis, were previously repped by Blair Television. Katz will begin to rep the stations beginning April 7.

The move to Katz consolidates Dispatch's national representation with one company. Katz Radio Group currently represents Dispatch's two radio stations in Columbus, Ohio.

"We are very excited about our expanded relationship with Katz Media. The addition of our CBS Columbus TV affiliate and our NBC Indianapolis TV affiliate to our existing radio representation is a great opportunity to excel in the national sales marketplace," said Michael Fiorile, vice chairman and CEO of Dispatch Broadcasting.
