WNYC Unveils Its New Home

April 11, 2007

Laura Walker, CEO and President of WNYC, and Nicki Tanner, Chair of the WNYC Board of Trustees, announced the launch of the Campaign for New York Public Radio at the site of what will be the station's new headquarters at 160 Varick Street.

Ms. Walker and Ms. Tanner also announced that the station's new 2,300 square foot street-level broadcast and performance space – the first-ever of its kind in downtown Manhattan—will be named the Jerome L. Greene Performance Center, after the late real estate lawyer and philanthropist.

Among those attending the ceremony were Broadway Star Kristin Chenoweth, actor Eric Bogosian, This America Life host Ira Glass, and WNYC hosts Brian Lehrer, Leonard Lopate, Jad Abumrad, John Schaefer, and Jonathan Schwartz. Violinist Anne Akiko Meyers performed at the event.
