A Goodbye
Evening Music | May 6, 2010
A personal note from Margaret Juntwait:
Something is happening that I never thought would happen. For fifteen years I’ve been a happy employee of WNYC radio, but now I’m leaving. I came here in 1991 because I wanted to work somewhere I could be proud of. But also because WNYC's audience feels like people I know and want to know more — smart, curious, fun-loving New Yorkers! And I felt you there every time I opened the microphone, I really did.
I was lucky enough to be named the host of the Metropolitan Opera matinee broadcasts a couple of years ago, and now they'd like me to help them full time in their increased (and very exciting) media presentations as their voice. Well, how many times do you get the chance of moving from a job you love to a job you love? But as I say, it’s been fifteen years so I’m going to take the step.
Classical music radio is a small community, so don’t be surprised to hear from me on WNYC again some day. But until then, thank you friends, for the time we shared on public radio. And keep the dial on WNYC! OK? Ok. Love ya.
