The reorganization comes after layoffs and programming cuts.
GBH 89.7FM is shaking up its morning co-hosts.
The Boston nonprofit of one of the city’s two public radio stations announced Monday that its millennial co-hosts, Paris Alston and Jeremy Siegel, are moving on to new roles. The two debuted as hosts of “Morning Edition” in 2022.
Alston will transition to hosting a “reimagined” “Basic Black,” the longstanding television program that centers on issues that matter to communities of color. The show was cut in May after the nonprofit announced financial problems and layoffs. The new program is premiering under a new name in early 2025.
Alston will also expand her focus statewide on a program she hosts called “A Walk Down the Block,” a multiplatform series that covers a range of underreported issues in Boston.
Siegel will take on several new roles, including hosting a new one-hour radio program and podcast that will take listeners across the state to hear stories on what makes the Bay State unique. The show will begin production in 2025.
