Public Broadcasting station KPBS has tabbed one of its longtime employees, Tom Karlo, to be its new general manager.
Karlo, who was formerly associate general manager of KPBS, was selected after a nationwide search and becomes the fifth general manager in the station’s nearly 50-year history. His new position became effective on Feb. 2.
KPBS is a public service of San Diego State University serving the region with television and radio broadcasting and Internet content. Karlo began his career there as a student intern more than 30 years ago and has worked in various roles. He’d served as associate general manager since 1992.
