Mueller Named Station Mgr., Utah Public Radio
• Utah Public Radio’s 91.5 KUSU/Logan, UT, a service of Utah State University, has named public media veteran Frank Mueller as its new Station Manager. He will also serve as professional practice faculty in the College of Arts and Sciences.
Mueller joins UPR following leadership roles in both commercial and public broadcasting, most recently serving in senior management at Penn State’s WPSU-FM. During his career, he has overseen broadcast operations, programming, audience development and student engagement initiatives while working closely with university-affiliated media organizations.
“I fell in love with radio after visiting a local station in Modesto, California, when I was 13,” Mueller said. “While I had loved listening to the radio since my early childhood, seeing behind the curtain convinced me that was what I wanted to do.”
Mueller’s public media career began at UNLV, where he managed station operations before advancing to General Manager. He later owned and operated a small radio group in Utah Valley and taught at Utah Valley University before returning to public broadcasting at Penn State.
Mueller succeeds longtime UPR leaders Kerry Bringhurst and Tom Williams, whose retirements this summer marked the conclusion of decades of service to the station.
“I’m excited to be back in beautiful Utah,” Mueller said. “Whether biking, hiking or scouting, there’s a good chance you’ll meet me on the trail.” Mueller is on the job and can be contacted at frank.mueller@usu.edu.
