NBC Sports Regional Networks Hires Timothy Buckman From Callaway

NBC Sports Regional Networks hired Timothy Buckman as VP/Strategic Communications. Buckman, who has held PR jobs with Fox and most recently Callaway, will report to Jon Litner, who announced the hire in an internal memo this morning. Buckman officially starts Feb. 11 and will relocate back to N.Y. from San Diego. He will work out of NBC's N.Y. office initially before moving with the rest of the NBC Sports division to Stamford, Conn. Buckman takes the job that was held by Meier Raivich, who left in August for Fanatics. Tim Fitzpatrick previously held the job from '06-10 and was used as a consultant on it after Raivich left.
