GREELEY Community Radio for Northern Colorado has named Aspen Public Radio executive director Tammy Terwelp as its next leader. The operator behind NPR affiliate KUNC and The Colorado Sound said Terwelp will take the reins on April 5 and during the 20th anniversary year of the station’s radio license being spun out of the University of Northern Colorado and into an independent group. Prior to her current role at Aspen Public Radio, Terwelp was the general manager of KRCC in Colorado Springs and held programming roles at NPR affiliates in Pittsburgh and Chicago. She replaces current president and CEO Neil Best, who intended to retire at the end of last year after 48 years with the station. He first began at the station in 1973 as a news announcer and later news director before eventually becoming CEO in 2009. He remained at the post for a little longer than expected due to delays in the hiring process. In an interview with BizWest, Terwelp said she has worked often with KUNC staffer
Dear Friends,
It was almost 20 years ago (February 8, 2001) that I, along with the rest of KUNC’s staff at the time, learned that the University of Northern Colorado Board of Trustees was planning on selling the license of KUNC to Colorado Public Radio the following day. To say the news came as a shock is an understatement.
The morning after the pending sale was made public, nearly thirty members of the KUNC listening community appeared before the trustees. They asked the board to reconsider then UNC President Hank Brown’s recommendation to sell the license. After hearing emotional stories from several listeners explaining how important KUNC was to them, the board announced it would put out an RFP for the sale of the license with a deadline of Wednesday, February 28.
