Cephas Bowles, 40-year Public Radio
Advocate and Innovator,
To Be Inducted into
WAER/Syracuse University Hall of Fame
at Gala Ceremony on September 19
NEW YORK, NY September 9, 2014 – Cephas Bowles, a staunch advocate for public radio and jazz for more than four decades and former CEO/President of WBGO Jazz 88.3 FM, will be inducted into the WAER-FM Hall of Fame at Syracuse University on Friday, September 19, at 12:00 pm. A 1974 graduate of the university, Bowles joins previous inductees including Ted Koeppel, Mike Tirico, Sean McDonough, and Ian Eagle who have made a mark on the field of broadcasting.
“WAER was, and continues to be, a magical place which helped me become the broadcaster that I am today,” said Bowles. “It was an invaluable teaching laboratory for engaged Broadcast and other majors. For Broadcasting students, the station supplemented our in-class learning. It became our second home, causing us to miss holiday meals and numerous activities because we had shows to produce and present. However, I would not have traded that experience for any other on campus.”
