John Hendricks, who been in charge of broadcast sales for Chicago Tribune parent Tribune Co., today was promoted to executive vice president of interactive and broadcast sales, effective immediately.

With the newly created position, Hendricks not only will oversee national and local sales efforts for Tribune Co.'s 23 local TV stations, including Chicago's WGN-Ch. 9, but also for the more than 50 Web sites operated by the company's broadcast, publishing and interactive divisions.

Marc Chase, president of Tribune Interactive, said in a statement that he's looking for Hendricks to "work the same magic with sales at Tribune's websites" that he has with Tribune Co.'s broadcast outlets. "He's been taking sleight of hand lessons, learning card tricks and simple rabbit-out-of-a-hat stuff--we think he's ready to move to the next level."

Hendricks, who has been senior vice president of sales for Tribune Broadcasting since 2002, will be charged with building strategic business and sales initiatives, coordinating advertising agreements and managing relationships with key sales-related organizations.

Dana Hayes, Jr., who has been senior vice president of sales for Tribune Interactive, now will report to Hendricks.

Tribune Broadcasting President Ed Wilson, in the announcement, added Hendricks is "talented, innovative, provides outstanding leadership and looks great in a tux."

Continuing the theme, Hendricks said in a statement: "So much of interactive sales is making something out of nothing, I'm ideally suited for this job. Look, nothing up my sleeve"
