Phil Redo

WGBH EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION News-Talk WGBH/BOSTON GM/Radio and Local News PHIL REDO has announced his retirement, effective JULY, 2020. REDO, who joined WGBH as a consultant in 2009 and was instrumental in the launch of WGBH’s all-news and information format, will continue with his current duties through next summer while WGBH conducts a search for his successor.

“PHIL has expanded our public service mission, effectively responding to the appetite for public radio in our communities, and substantially increasing the options for audiences through appealing programs and opportunities for engagement with civic leaders, and with one another,” WGBH Pres. JON ABBOTT said. “WGBH has benefited enormously from his strategic vision, energy and enthusiasm, and as a result our stations are poised for continued future growth and success.”

“I am so fortunate to lead this team of extraordinarily talented colleagues and to have had a hand in building our stations and a thriving news service for audiences across the region,” REDO said. “I love this work, but after four decades in the business, I’m looking ahead to undertaking some projects of my own. I want to have time to write, and to be an active participant in community life.”
