Thanks to the retirement of Chris Allen, the noncommercial Classical station serving the Omaha market is now one of the few of its kind to have a female General Manager.
Who has been appointed to the top role at KVNO-FM? As first reported by Streamline Publishing’s Radio Ink, it goes to Sherry Brownrigg, who rises from Station Manager on July 1.
With a focus on accessibility, Brownrigg aims to continue making classical music available to the Omaha community by featuring diverse composers and musicians, engaging young people with instruments, and promoting the local arts and culture scene.
For Brownrigg, running a Classical station comes after previous roles at Spirit Catholic Radio Network, Relevant Radio and secular Adult Contemporary KEFM “96.1 Lite FM” in Omaha.
“As a lifelong listener and supporter of classical music who has spent most of my career behind the microphone or behind the scenes of radio stations, I’m thrilled to take on this new leadership role at KVNO,” Brownrigg said. “KVNO’s promise is to elevate life and create community through timeless music and timely information, and we’ll continue to deliver on that promise as we champion classical radio through new avenues and with new audiences.”
