Ben Roe Is WDAV’s new Manager

WDAV is under new management. On July 1, Benjamin K. Roe joined the staff as general manager. Ben is a Grammy and Peabody Award-winning producer and one of the nation’s leading strategists for music and public media and comes to WDAV with more than 25 years of leadership in these areas, primarily at National Public Radio in Washington, DC. A 20-year member of the NPR staff, he served most recently as NPR’s director of music and music initiatives, a job which allowed him to develop the blueprint for NPRMusic.org, an online music portal for NPR and member public radio stations across the U.S. Under Ben’s leadership, you can expect WDAV to explore fresh and exciting ways to share great classical music with the WDAV community of listeners.

Volunteers Needed

Volunteering during the Fall Membership Campaign is a great way to support WDAV’s classical music service and get to know other classical music lovers. We’re looking for folks who can come in and spend a couple of hours answering the phones and taking listeners’ contributions. The Campaign runs Thursday, October 2 through Thursday, October 9, and volunteer slots are available mornings, afternoons, and evenings. We’re looking for individual volunteers as well as groups from schools, businesses, and other organizations. If you’d like to sign up, please call Kim Cline at 704-894-2977, or email her at kicline@wdav.org.


Photo of the Day: What Inspires You?

You’ve probably noticed fabulous photos adorning the WDAV homepage for the past month or so. We have a new feature, Photo of the Day, which displays images submitted by members of the WDAV community. Many of the submissions have been truly spectacular, and it’s been great fun choosing a new one to showcase each day. We’d love to see your photos. All you have to do is sign up for a free WDAV Photographer account and begin uploading images. You never know, one of them might just end up on our homepage as the Photo of the Day.
