Longtime Las Vegas broadcaster Nathan Tannenbaum and Robert Fisher, the president of the Nevada Broadcasters Association, have been appointed to the advisory board for the UNLV radio station, KUNV, President Carol C. Harter announced Wednesday.
Tannenbaum and Fisher, together with former radio broadcaster Cindy Schloss, join students, faculty, and administrators on the board that will set policy for the station. An FM station, KUNV is licensed to the Board of Regents of the University and Community College System of Nevada, KUNV was restructured last year after the UNLV student government, which had previously funded the station, reduced its level of funding, and Harter agreed that the university would take responsibility for the station.
An advisory committee appointed by the president recommended that KUNV become part of the academic program of the university and that an advisory board be established. Harter assigned responsibility for the station to Provost Douglas Ferraro, and appointed the advisory board.
David Henry, director of the Hank Greenspun School of Communication, will chair the KUNV Advisory Board. Other members are John Gallagher, director of the UNLV Foundation; Barbara Cloud, associate provost for academic affairs; Dennis Mazzocco, telecommunications faculty member in the School of Communication; undergraduate students Natalia Murillo, Keith Amaker, and David Himmel; and graduate student Cheryl Radeloff.
Henry said the full board will hold its first meeting as soon as members' summer schedules permit.
