MALCOLM BRETT, the longtime Dir./Broadcast and Media Innovations at WISCONSIN PUBLIC RADIO and WISCONSIN PUBLIC TELEVISION parent UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-EXTENSION, is retiring next year. A press release said that BRETT, who has been in public broadcasting for 34 years and was Dir./Television at WISCONSIN PUBLIC TELEVISION before taking his present role, is "targeting late SPRING 2018 for the transition."

"MALCOLM's leadership in WISCONSIN has been admired by public television and radio stations around the nation,” said NPR CEO JARL MOHN. “Public media in WISCONSIN is what it is today because of his dedication to public service, his passion for great content and his commitment to the staff of WPT and WPR. His work will pay dividends for WISCONSINites for decades to come.”

"MALCOLM BRETT is a dedicated and visionary leader of public media and through his work has had great impact in WISCONSIN as well as across our national public television system,” said PBS Pres./CEO PAULA KERGER. “Through his service on the PBS Board, most notably during his tenure as Vice Chairman, he focused on universal access, diverse voices and community engagement. MALCOLM truly believes in the mission and power of public broadcasting, and the special role that stations need to play within local communities. For the last 25 years, I have had the distinct privilege to work with MALCOLM and am grateful for all that he has given to our system, to WISCONSIN and to our country."

“MALCOLM has left an indelible mark on UW-EXTENSION, the state of WISCONSIN and beyond,” added UW COLLEGES and UW-EXTENSION Chancellor Dr. CATHY SANDEEN. “I first met MALCOLM when he served on the national PBS Board; I recognized the depth of his knowledge and tremendous leadership qualities right away. I am so grateful to have been a small part of his work here in WISCONSIN, and I join in with his friends and colleagues across WISCONSIN and the U.S. in congratulating MALCOLM on an incredible career and wishing him the best of luck on the adventures that await him.”
