What's up with Neal Shapiro? He is moving on up in the boring Educational Broadcasting world

Published: Wednesday, January 30, 2008

Just last week we asked what's up with former NBC exec Neal Shapiro since he crossed over to the gray and glitzy-less world of public television, and now comes word that Mr. Shapiro is moving on up. Shapiro who joined the Educational Broadcasting Corp as President back in 2007 will take over as CEO on Feb. 4th from long time CEO Dr. William Baker. Shapiro is really getting into his new world huh? Well he sounds excited and is even anxious to start building on the new things he introduced that worked well for the company . At this rate, Shapiro can very well end up running all of PBS one day.

"We must capitalize on what distinguishes Thirteen and WLIW: fearless experimentation, keen intelligence, unparalleled production quality, and a passion for leading the way forward," Shapiro said. "We are evolving as the learning habits and expectations of the public change. I believe that by dramatically increasing our capacity to produce innovative programming and by using new tools to deliver information we can make a truly tangible positive difference in people's lives."
