From Radio Insight: Hubbard’s “Federal News Network” 1500 WFED Washington DC is beginning the search for its morning “The Federal Drive” program as Tom Temin will retire in April 2025 after leading the program for 17 years. The station is “looking for someone who brings excitement, passion and interest in providing federal and industry executives with news and information about the policies, people and programs that drive the mission of the federal government. The ideal candidate MUST have knowledge of, and high degree of interest in, information technology, acquisition, human resources, financial and program management as they operate within the federal government.” Federal News Network focuses on news targeted to federal employees and contractors. Hubbard’s posting adds, “For this position, experience in developing ideas, conducting and managing interviews is strongly preferred, but consideration will be given for the right person with the right background in federal issues. The host is primarily responsible for show content.” Temin said, “Managing and anchoring the Federal Drive is one of the best and most rewarding jobs in Washington journalism. It?s the chance to interact with and bring out the stories and perspectives of leading thinkers in federal management, the contracting community, and the legal, think-tank and academic domains. Plus it?s great fun and the opportunity to work with a dedicated and talented team.? Federal News Network publisher Jeffrey Wolinsky added, “The Federal Drive is where the community of federal employees and the contracting community come to discuss issues that matter to the mission of delivering government. Therefore, we are seeking a dynamic person that can provide this content to the community omnichannel, in the way they consume it. Tom?s contributions over the past 17 years are immeasurable and have impacted so many in the community. His shoes will be impossible to replace and difficult to fill.? Interested applicants are told to view the posting at Hubbard’s jobs portal and to contact executive editor Jason Miller. more

To all my radio family, listeners, clients, family and friends, from the bottom of my heart, thank you!” Malkan Interactive Communications Director of Programming and KZFM morning host Gino Flores said, “Erika was something special.
