NPR’s new president Jarl Mohn visited Michigan Radio this week. He joined us on the show.
Before NPR, Mohn managed MTV, VH1, E! Entertainment Television and several other media outlets.
Mohn said public radio had done a great job building an audience, but he is hoping to turn that into a solid business model.
Mohn worked as a radio disc jockey during the first 19 years of his career. He said his previous work with a public radio station rekindled his love for radio.
“This is the only thing on the planet that I would have gone back to work for,” Mohn said.
