Watson, former director of development for the Brooklyn Philharmonic and director of marketing and communications at the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, will head up fundraising for the listener-sponsored station.
“I’ve admired WFUV’s independent voice and unwavering commitment to music for a long time,” said Watson, calling it a “thrill to now join this great station and to help continue its success.”
Watson holds a bachelor of musical arts degree from the University of Michigan.
