Kent State University trustees approved Wednesday a public service operating agreement with Ideastream.
The contract comes after nearly two years of negotiations.
“We treasure every single day of the 25 years that we had in public radio,” said EP Laura Sher.
“It’s been a truly stressful couple of years both personally and professionally,” Crane told Current, “so I plan on restoring my energy and spirit, and then deciding what’s next.”
Dominowski joined NIPR in 2013.
“He was about as good a colleague as you could ever hope for,” said Don Lee, who worked with Briscoe at NPR.
NPM is seeing “millions in return on our investment,” said CEO Gina Garrubbo.
The majority of the funding is supporting the station’s live-events venue.
Taylor succeeds Jon McTaggart, who announced last year plans to leave the organization.
The bargaining unit includes content staffers such as reporters and hosts.
Purcell died from injuries sustained in a traffic crash last week.
Baes succeeds longtime GM Maggie Montgomery.
As employees press for higher pay and paths for career advancement, those trying to fix the problems say they’re encountering reticence, reluctance and outdated research tools.
Public TV saw “incredible growth” in sustainers, according to the donorCentrics Benchmarking Project. Meanwhile, public radio may face a “downward slope” in revenue.
The position is new at the network.
Melissa Harris-Perry will be the radio show’s interim host through the end of the year.
“It’s been a fun ride and now I’m off to live the next chapter of my life as an eccentric sustaining member,” Massaro said.
