Hope for the best after CPB and also cited the funding threats and congressional hearings that has came into play recently too if you see the Boston Globe version of the story.

Michael Levy, EVP and COO for CPB, resigned from his positions Friday.


“I regretted having to do it,” Levy said in a statement emailed to Current. “I had recent orthopedic surgery and I need to devote more time to my recovery. CPB has a strong team and I will be working closely with them (and CEO Pat Harrison) as a consultant.”


News of Levy’s departure was first reported by the Boston Globe.


Levy joined CPB in 2005 as VP of corporate and public affairs. He became chief strategy officer and EVP in 2015 and was named COO in 2017.


CPB Names Kathy Merritt to take over as COO of the organization.


The Corporation for Public Broadcasting has announced the promotion of Kathy Merritt to Chief Operating Officer and Debra Sanchez to EVP of Government and External Affairs and Acting Corporate Secretary.


The new promotions come following the recent elevations of Daryl Mintz to Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer and Evan Slavitt to General Counsel.



In her new role, Merritt will oversee CPB’s Operations, Radio/Journalism, System Strategies, Next Generation Warning System, Community Service Grants, and Television Content departments. Before her promotion, Merritt served as Chief, Station and System Strategies, managing grants and initiatives aimed at strengthening public media stations and enhancing system-wide efficiency.


Merritt takes the role amid increasing threats to CPB’s federal funding, including an attempt by the White House to cut the NGWS and Ready to Learn grants in the first days of the second Trump administration.
 

Yes there are other changes in CPB management like Daryl Mintz to Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer and Evan Slavitt to General Counsel that took place at the same time CPB got a new COO.
