About PBS Michiana-WNIT
PBS Michiana-WNIT seeks a new President and General Manager as
successor to a retiring incumbent. WNIT is a community-owned
television station licensed to the Michiana Public Broadcasting
Corporation, serving 22 counties in north central Indiana and
southwest Michigan and reaching a potential audience of 1.2 million
viewers. WNIT is governed by a volunteer board of member directors
who enthusiastically represent our diverse viewing area. We are a
trusted, community-owned public media source committed to
inspiring, informing, educating, entertaining, and unifying the
communities we serve.
Our strategic plan prioritizes local engagement and programming. We
produce six weekly shows focused on culture, politics and
economics, alongside highly acclaimed documentaries celebrating
area entrepreneurs, women in leadership, historic places and
events, and our region's natural beauty. Our award-winning
production team has garnered multiple regional Emmy awards.
As Michiana's largest classroom, education is central to our
mission. We serve parents, children and educators through PBS Kids
and our 24/7 PBS Kids Channel, as well as through collaborations
with local libraries, schools, community centers, and an education
advisory council. We share resources to help both parents and
children at in-person events throughout the year and produce the
weekly program "Education Counts" to explore learning innovations
across our region.
From our downtown South Bend headquarters, we broadcast over five
channels, including a NextGen channel, offering national PBS
programs, regionally focused fare, and curriculum-based learning
resources. Our very successful and recently completed 50th
anniversary campaign will allow us to update our infrastructure and
make strategic investments toward a mobile and digital future.

The Opportunity
The President/GM reports to the Board of Directors and is
responsible for overseeing all staff, operations, finances, and

success at nonprofit fundraising as well as a transparent and
proactive leadership style. We seek an organizational leader with
excellent communication skills and a record of executing on
strategic plans through collaborations with stakeholders. This
position requires a mission-driven focus with specific expertise in
the public media space. Strong general management experience
