10 Questions with ... Stacy OwenBRIEF CAREER SYNOPSIS:
Was part of the team that created one of the first Triple A stations in the country, WNKU, at Northern KY University. Left MD position there to become WFPK’s APD. I hosted mid-mornings and played an integral role in founding and organizing the annual NonCommvention – a national convention for non-commercial Triple A radio stations. As WFPK PD , my focus has been to build a strong community around a talented and passionate programming team and produce and book our award winning WFPK Waterfront Wednesday concert series among other events.
1. How long have you been at WFPK?
Valentine’s Day will be 21 years.
2. It is exciting to hear the station has been Triple A for 25 years! Tell us about that.

Early on it was seen as a grand experiment. Today it's a proven format and that's been very gratifying.
