Ryland Barton - New State Capital Bureau Chief for KPR

KWBU Reporter and All Things Considered Host, RylandBarton, is heading “home” to Kentucky – having landed the State Capital Bureau Chief job with Kentucky Public Radio.  

Although with KWBU just under a year and a half, Barton was a huge player in the sound of KWBU and helped the station grow in local and state news coverage.  It wasn’t long after he was settled in Waco when NPR picked up one of  his stories for Weekend Edition.

“I am very excited to start this next job, but I cherish the time I've spent in Waco and at KWBU.” Barton said.  His last day with KWBU will be January 9, 2015.

Although Ryland will be missed, we wish him well in his new position with KPR and expect to hear him on the national level someday soon. 

Becky Fogel, who held the Reporter/ ATC Host position prior to Barton now works for PRI’s Science Friday.
