KCRW, Los Angeles general manager Ruth Seymour to retire after 32 years

Seymour tells the staff at one of public radio’s strongest operations that “for almost all of you, I am the only manager you've known…some of you go back with me to John Adams Junior High. We've made a lot of history together.” The history of KCRW (89.9) includes being an early flagship of public radio national programming as well as the creator of syndicated programs such as Harry Shearer’s “Le Show.” KCRW’s role as a tastemaker in the music community is legendary, because of its location in the heart of the music and movie industries. L.A. Observed has more on the role of Ruth Seymour at news-and-variety KCRW, Santa Monica, plus her letter to the staff. The Los Angeles Board at Radio-Info is talking about Seymour’s contributions, here.
