WTMD/Baltimore Seeks A PD
• 89.7 WTMD/Baltimore, a public radio Music Discovery station owned by Your Public Radio Corporation, which also owns NPR News affiliate 88.1 WYPR, is looking for a Program Director.
[You], as the new PD will be responsible for the overall sound and quality of WTMD’s non-commercial Music Discovery service on radio and digital platforms. This includes supervision of on-air hosts and music programming staff, ensuring the format is successfully implemented and audience-focused, and collaborating with other departments to help achieve audience, revenue, and organizational goals. And in keeping with WTMD’s goal to be more than a radio station, this role will be one of the primary faces of WTMD to the community; and will help create opportunities for audiences to deepen their connection to music and the arts — online, on the air and in neighborhoods throughout Baltimore and central Maryland.
WTMD is consulted by Mike Henry of Paragon Media Strategies, who told RAMP, “WTMD is in a great position already and poised for growth under the leadership of a forward-thinking Program Director. WTMD is now owned by NPR News WYPR, and under the leadership of President LaFontaine Oliver, and they have more resources than ever to achieve their goals.”
WTMD is operating on a partial remote basis due to the pandemic. When we fully return to the office, we will continue to provide flexibility for our staff to work remotely if they so choose. We expect that this position will work in the office at least 80% of the time.
Qualified candidates are invited to study the complete job posting online and upload your resume, cover letter and attach three short MP3 examples. Applications can also be mailed to Business Manager, c/o WYPR, 2216 N. Charles St., Baltimore, MD 21218. No phone calls, please. WTMD is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
