According to Houston Culture Map there are big changes at Houston Public Media. KUHF CEO John Proffitt and Channel 8 General Manager John Hesse were dismissed from their current duties on Monday. They were assigned to other duties at Houston Public Media until the end of the year. Proffitt has been with the station for 26 years.
Proffitt guided the acquisition of KUHA from Rice University. The acquisition allowed the station to dedicate KUHF-FM to news and information. KUHA became the all classical service. Their most recent membership drive resulted in gains in membership.
The reorganization comes after the hiring of Lisa Trapani Schumate by the University of Houston to oversee the entire operation. Tripani Schumate takes charge today.
