Donovan Reynolds, President and General Manager of Louisville Public Media since 2006, will retire from his position on September 30. He told the staff and board in meetings Thursday afternoon. LPM is home to 89.3 WFPL, Louisville’s NPR news station, and the Kentucky Center for Investigative Reporting; 91.9 WFPK Radio Louisville; and Classical 90.5 WUOL. It is also the hub of two regional journalism collaborations: the Kentucky Public Radio Network and the Ohio River Network. During Reynolds’ tenure, LPM invested heavily in growing its news operation. The WFPL newsroom has expanded significantly during the past decade, adding new areas of coverage along with reporters and editors. Most recently, LPM has made a major investment in WFPL’s digital strategy.
“Our community, our listeners, and the staff of Louisville Public Media have benefited greatly from Donovan’s leadership over the past 10 years,” said Todd Lowe, chair of LPM’s board. “His insights and judgment have set the stage for Louisville Public Media to provide value to our listeners for the next 10 years and beyond.”
