Kansas City PBS announces retirement of longtime President & CEO Kliff Kuehl

Posted

After more than 17 years of service to Kansas City PBS, President and CEO Kliff Kuehl has announced his retirement, effective July 1. This is a planned transition that marks a new chapter for the 60-year-old public media organization.  

During his tenure, Kuehl guided the station through a period of transformation and growth. He added three digital broadcast channels, launching livestreams for its main and kids' channels, and driving strategies on digital distribution platforms to attract new audiences while sustaining legacy broadcast operations. Kuehl earned national recognition by founding The Hale Center for Journalism (Flatland) in 2013, a multimedia platform addressing gaps in local reporting. That same year, he led the acquisition of 90.9 The Bridge, positioning the NPR music station as a hub for local music discovery and a platform for regional artists.
