Phil Alvidrez

Phil Alvidrez is general manager of MagicDust Television and executive in charge of production for RightThisMinute. He oversees the work of syndicators, recruits talent and manages contracts and business relationships with the company’s partners and clients. A journalist at heart, Phil ran the newsroom at KTVK in Phoenix from 1986 through 2003. When ABC moved its affiliation from KTVK in 1994, Phil was a leader in the group that built the most successful independent station in America. A creative approach to news would become the backbone of KTVK’s survival and growth. That innovation continues at MagicDust with the creation of the first two nationally-syndicated television shows ever produced in Phoenix, NASCAR Angels (2006-2010) and RightThisMinute (2011-present). Phil is a member of the alumni Hall of Fame at the Walter Cronkite School at Arizona State University.
