Meredith Puts a Date on Tom Harty's Potential Ascension to CEO

This week, magazine publisher and TV station owner Meredith Corp. elevated Tom Harty from president of the company's National Media Group to president and chief operating officer, taking on oversight of the Local Media Group as well. That promotion seemed to put Mr. Harty in line to succeed Steve Lacy, 62, who must step down as CEO at the age of 65, per company policy.
