Louisville Public Media Hires Jean West as ATC Host
RADIO ONLINE | Tuesday, April 3, 2018 |
Louisville Public Media hires Jean West to host weekday afternoons on WFPL-FM. The veteran Louisville news anchor will be the local host of the NPR flagship program "All Things Considered." A veteran broadcast journalist, West has more than 30 years of experience as an anchor and medical, health and science reporter at WAVE-3 News and WHAS-TV. She has also produced reports that have appeared on NPR and ABC's "Primetime Live."
"I'm thrilled and honored to be part of the Louisville Public Media Family. NPR and their member stations just reported their highest broadcast ratings of all time, and that is a reflection of the excellent journalists and programs available to all every day," said West. "I plan to continue the tradition that my friend Susan Sweeney Crum and the 89.3 WFPL staff have so successfully established. I can't wait to get started."
West succeeds longtime Louisville Public Media host Susan Sweeney Crum, who retires on April 16. West begins the next day on April 17.
