Delmarva Public Radio's New General Manager

Delmarva Public Radio has new leadership. Dana Whitehair takes over the fiscally troubled stations. The two services have been running deficits for more than a decade. Salisbury University and the foundation that ran the stations were looking at options that would have eliminated most of the local services. After a concerted effort by the community, the University decided to fund Delmarva Public Radio on an interim basis to see if the stations can become self-sustaining. Sustainability will be Whitehair's challenge.

Dana Whitehair has previous public radio experience as General Manager of WNCW, Spindale, NC and Manager of Technical Services at KUT, Autin, TX.
