CURRENT is reporting that DEAN CAPPELLO is exiting NEW YORK PUBLIC RADIO News-Talk WNYC-A-F/NEW YORK and WNYC STUDIOS after 21 years with the company, most recently as Chief Content Officer and SVP of Programming before being moved into an advisor's role in JANUARY.

CAPPELLO oversaw WNYC's growth and the launch of the WNYC STUDIOS podcast division; he was moved out of his Chief Content Officer position in the wake of sexual harassment allegations against several hosts at the station, most notably "THE TAKEAWAY" host JOHN HOCKENBERRY, but an investigation did not find evidence that management had tolerated harassment.
