Sterner Goes On The Record At WYPR
• Baltimore Public Media NPR affiliate WYPR/Baltimore announced that Ashley Sterner is stepping down as the long-time local host of Morning Edition for the opportunity to co-host On the Record alongside Sheilah Kast. Sterner (left), a familiar and trusted voice at WYPR for nearly two decades, steps into her new role to expand her engagement with the community through in-depth discussions and storytelling.
Kast (right) expressed excitement about Sterner’s new position, as she remarked, “Ashley has been instrumental in how our listeners start their day, and now she brings that same expertise to deepen the dialogue on On the Record. We are delighted to welcome her as co-host and look forward to the fresh perspectives she will introduce alongside our engaging program content.”
Sterner, clearly thrilled about her new opportunity, stated, “I’m excited to share more of Maryland’s stories on the radio and couldn’t dream of working with a better team!”
On The Record, produced by Maureen Harvie and Melissa Gerr, will continue to offer high-quality content with interviews involving audacious artists, intrepid scientists, community leaders, and more. Kast and Sterner will tackle issues that influence daily life, delivering thoughtful and engaging conversations with key figures shaping these topics.
Sterner makes her co-hosting debut tomorrow, Sept. 13, with the show airing every Wednesday and Friday at 9:30am on 88.1 FM.
