KCUR's new GM

NPR radio station KCUR 89.3 FM announced that it has found and hired their new General Manager. He is Nico Leone, formerly of KDHX of St. Louis.

Just one question: They couldn't find anyone from here in Kansas City for the job?

It always surprises me when a company selects a person or a company--especially architects and the like--from outside the city.

Maybe a radio station GM for an NPR station is tough to get from here in town. It just seems there ought to maybe be enough people from some organization which they could choose.

He'll know radio.

He just doesn't know Kansas City or the people here.
