Fox Sports chairman David Hill holds the top spot on the L.A. Business Journal's new list of most powerful local sports executives. Hill moved up from number two, jumping ahead of Tim Leiweke of Anschutz Entertainment Group, who got points off for the Lakers' stinking up Staples Center and the forty-one nights when the Kings didn't (mostly) fill the seats. Angels owner Arturo Moreno qualifies as local and comes in at number three, one slot above the Dodgers' Frank and Jamie McCourt. After Hill, the top media figure is LAT sports editor Bill Dwyre at #16, then Don Corsini, president and GM of KCAL & KCBS-TV, at #19. There's a whole package of sports stories in this week's Journal.
