Sea Change at KCRW: General Manager/Program Director Out

By , About.com Guide   November 18, 2009

Follow me on:

This just in...It's the end of an era at 89.9 KCRW. Ruth Seymour (you may recognize her distinct voice from the fund drives and "The Politics of Culture") has been at the radio station at Santa Monica College (SMC) since 1977. She was most recently general manager and program director. She has just announced that she will be retiring in the end of February.

Online, KCRW boasts one of the largest audiences of any American radio station. SMC will search for a replacement for Seymour which they expect will take several months. She is quoted as saying: "It's been an extraordinary privilege to serve as KCRW's General Manager - a joy and source of great pride. That's a pretty good note on which to say goodbye."
