CBS News is reporting that former New York City public radio host John Hockenberry, who left his show earlier this year, is being accused of sexual misconduct by an author and some of his former colleagues. A statement from “The Takeaway” said the show is taking the allegations very seriously. Hockenberry issued a saying he was horrified people felt uncomfortable. “Looking back, my behavior was not always appropriate and I’m sorry. It horrifies me that I made the talented and driven people I worked with feel uncomfortable, and that the stress around putting together a great show was made worse by my behavior.”
The 61-year-old Hockenberry hosted “The Takeaway” from 2008 until earlier this year. The show is now hosted by Todd Zwillich.
