Bill Lamb
Bill Lamb is the Senior Vice President and General Manager of KTTV and KCOP. Bill joined the FOX duopoly in July of 2019 after 17 years as the President and General Manager of WDRB and WBKI in Louisville, Kentucky and Vice-President of Broadcast Operations for Block Communications, Inc. overseeing eight television stations.
His management style is one of innovation and calculated risk taking. He led WDRB from #4 to #1 in terms of total news audience and total revenue, but he is most proud that for 8 consecutive years, WDRB was named "One of the Best Places to Work" by the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce - the only media outlet ever given that award.

In 2018, he was inducted into the Kentucky Broadcaster's Hall of Fame.

Point of View: Homelessness explodes since Prop 47 was passed in 2014
Homelessness and drug abuse existed long before Prop 47.
