Jody Hamblett, director of University of Tennessee news/talk and NPR affiliate WUOT (91.9) Knoxville and adult alternative “90.3 The Rock” WUTK, has left the stations after three years in the position. According to a UT spokesperson, Hamblett left to be closer to family in South Carolina.
During her tenure at UT, Hamblett oversaw the consolidation of the college’s student media outlets, including WUOT, which was Tennessee’s first noncommercial educational station, signing on in 1949. She led a team of 15 full-time staffers and nearly 75 students, and managed a $2.4 million annual budget, served at the stations’ chief fundraiser and fostered community collaborations and strategic partnerships to enhance the stations’ reach, revenues, capacity and impact.
