WKAR Radio Station Manager Peter Whorf has accepted a position as On-Air Classical Music Host at DPTV/WRCJ-FM in Detroit.

In his six years at the public media station serving Michigan's capital region, Whorf oversaw the expansion of the WKAR News team, launched a number of new classical music shows, and created programming partnerships with stations across Michigan.
 
"It's been a pleasure working with my colleagues at WKAR and being on the air in mid-Michigan over the past six and a half years," said Whorf. "I'll miss my co-workers and friends, but I'm thrilled at this new opportunity to return to my home town and engage in Detroit's rich classical music community as a member of the DPTV/WRCJ-FM team."
 
Peter Whorf's last day with WKAR will be Friday, March 8.
