LEWISTON — The former CEO of Vermont Public Radio has been tapped to lead the Maine Public Broadcasting Network.
The Board of Directors announced Tuesday that it selected Mark Vogelzang to serve as president and CEO of MPBN, replacing Jim Dowe, who is retiring at year’s end.
Vogelzang worked as program director and radio manager at WHYY in Philadelphia, helping Terry Gross with the national launch of “Fresh Air,” before serving as president of Vermont Public Radio for 16 years and serving on the National Public Radio board. He served most recently as manager at the public radio station in Buffalo, N.Y., where he facilitated a merger of two stations.
MPBN Board Chairman Henry “Hank” Schmelzer says Vogelzang has the right experience to lead MPBN’s network of TV and radio stations.
