Amy Niles Named Acting President and CEO of WBGO Jazz 88.3 FM
NEWARK, NJ, June 12, 2013 – Effective immediately, Cephas Bowles, President and CEO of WBGO Jazz 88.3 FM, will take a leave of absence for health reasons, it was announced today by Stephen N. Ifshin, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Newark Public Radio/WBGO. It also was announced that Amy Niles, Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, will serve as Acting President and CEO in the interim.
“Cephas has been an outstanding leader of WBGO since 1993 and a tireless advocate for Public Radio for more than three decades,” said Ifshin. “Our thoughts are with him as he takes this time to tend to his health without exerting the day-to-day energy needed to run the country’s premier jazz station. Amy, who has worked alongside Cephas for the past seven years and has the same dedication and passion for WBGO’s continued growth and success, is a natural choice to serve as Acting President & CEO during Cephas’ absence.”
