Chris Dinan will be the new executive producer of ABC World News Tonight with David Muir. ABC News announced his new role on Monday; he fills the role vacated by Almin Karamehedovic, who was promoted to ABC News president in August.  

“With three decades of network news experience, Chris brings a wealth of knowledge and insight to his new role,” Karamehedovic wrote in a note to staff. “I have complete faith that, alongside the incredible ‘World News Tonight’ team, he will help us continue our legacy as the No. 1 newscast for nine consecutive years and counting.”

Dinan has been with ABC News since 2011 and served as WNT’s senior broadcast producer prior to this promotion. Before joining ABC, he was the senior broadcast producer of the CBS Evening News, and also worked as a senior and field producer with anchors Dan Rather and Katie Couric.

As a result of Dinan’s promotion, ABC News notes that senior producers Enjoli Francis, Jennifer Metz, and Brian Reiferson will take on additional live broadcast producing duties in the WNT control room.
