The grants will benefit stations in seven states.
“Southwest Florida in Focus,” a half-hour of TV news for Fort Myers and beyond, launched as a cost-effective model for producing local coverage.
After a summer break, “RadioWest” is back with a style inspired by long-form podcasts.
The station’s co-founder and CEO will step down in December.
With grants from PBS and editorial support from series producers, eight stations are testing new approaches for connecting with local audiences.
Glass hopes the low threshold for giving could get more listeners to become donors.
“I don’t know how they’re going to find a church big enough to hold the mourners,” said Nina Totenberg, her friend and colleague.
The board will seat Joe O’Connor, CEO of WFAE, and Mike Savage, GM of WEKU.
Delan is the second veteran WETA executive to move into a consulting role this year.
Schachter was previously VP for news at WNYC.
The job change is part of a management restructuring that elevates Mike Sauter to GM of WYEP.
Podcasts have been a “huge return on investment for us and a major growth engine for our business,” says NPR CFO Deborah Cowan.
