New General Manager at KPFK
|
Effective November 25, 2024, Maggie LePique will assume the role of Interim General Manager of KPFK.
Maggie began her journey at KPFK Radio in 1994 as a volunteer programmer, co-hosting the popular jazz program Straight No Chaser alongside Michelle Coltrane. In the late 1990s, she transitioned into part-time work as a board operator and later secured a full-time position. She became Music Director in the early 2000s, with one of her notable achievements being the organization of a 14-hour music marathon for Hurricane Katrina survivors. This event featured renowned artists such as Ben Harper, Jackson Browne, Poncho Sanchez, and Afrika Bambaataa, raising over $100,000 for relief efforts. Maggie is committed to continuing her work to support the financial stability and growth of the station in her new leadership role.
We extend our gratitude to Michael Novick for his dedicated service as IGM, guiding KPFK through the challenging process of the building sale and relocation. His contributions to Pacifica and KPFK are deeply appreciated.
Maggie can be reached at mlepique@kpfk.org.
