RI Public Radio Hires Controversial New Boss

Posted by Wayne G. Barber

Rhode Island Public Radio announced Tuesday that Torey Malatia will be its new President, CEO, and General Manager -- two years after Malatia resigned as head of WBEZ/Chicago Public Media amidst scrutiny.

WBEZ reported in July 2013 that Malatia resigned; an article published by Crain's Chicago Business the same day was entitled "WBEZ Chief Torey Malatia ousted from radio station."
About Malatia
Malatia joined WBEZ in 1993 as the Vice President of programming, where he helped launch national shows "Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me" and "This American Life."
Malatia succeeds previous General Manager Joe O’Connor, who left in January. Malatia will join Rhode Island Public Radio on September 14.Source; Kate Nagle GOLOCALPROV.COM
