After 40 years, MAX WYCISK, President of COLORADO PUBLIC RADIO (CPR) has announced that he will retire on JUNE 30th, 2018. WYCISK’s career at CPR has spanned more than four decades, first as an on-air announcer and then PD before becoming President in 1978.
WYCISK is responsible for transforming CPR from a single-signal radio station to today’s statewide network, which includes three distinct services – CPR News, CPR Classical and CPR’s Triple A OpenAir – that are broadcast on 34 signals across the state and online.
“While the world has undoubtedly changed over the past 40 years, CPR’s mission has remained steadfast and our importance has grown,” said WYCISK. “The organization is stronger than it’s ever been, a testament to our dedicated staff, the donors who support us and the hundreds of thousands of people who rely on us each and every day. It’s been an honor to lead the development of a vital community resource that’s uniquely positioned to have an even greater future ahead.”
“On behalf of the CPR board of directors, we thank MAX for his service and for the many notable accomplishments achieved during his tenure,” said Dean Salter, chair of the board. “MAX is recognized as a pioneer in public broadcasting, and his vision set CPR on the path to its current success. He leaves one of the strongest public radio organizations in the country with a sound financial base, a talented and committed staff and loyal listeners. We look forward to an orderly transition to ensure the continued success of CPR.”
To assist in the nationwide search for WYCISk’s successor, CPR has retained BLINKHORN, L.L.C.
