Created by Sammi Brie (talk). Self-nominated at 18:48, 14 August 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Wendy McMahon (television executive); consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

Timely. New and long enough, well written and sourced. QPQ done. Consider adding an infobox. Hook is interesting enough, though maybe include in the article a precise answer to why she found the overture ... surprising (per source, an "opportunity to start from scratch ... build ..."). A question on the hook, @Sammi Brie: the source says WWJ/CBS62 had "an early-morning newscast" in 2009–2012; perhaps the fix is just to include "evening" in the hook?
