Several changes are coming to NBC News Audio. According to Inside Radio, NBC News Studios President Liz Cole will now oversee NBC News Audio. The change spurred the retirement of Soraya Gage, who served as the VP and General Manager of NBC News Audio.
“Liz, a masterful storyteller, already has enormous visibility into the podcast business,” he said. “Under both her and David Corvo, Dateline has propelled NBC News into the top five of all podcast publishers,” said NBC News President Noah Oppenheim.
Cole serves as the Executive Producer of Dateline; she has been with the network since 2003. Cole is credited with developing and supervising many premium documentaries and series, including “The Thing About Pam.”
Meanwhile, Gage’s run at NBC spanned three decades. In an internal memo, Noah Oppenheim hailed her career as “remarkable” and credited her with building the audio division from the ground up.
Recently, NBC News promoted Senior VP of Global Digital News Catherine Kim promoted to Senior VP of NBC News Editorial overseeing all news gathering efforts across all digital and television.
“We’ve been working thoughtfully to break down the walls between linear and digital as NBC News continues to evolve into a robust multi-platform news organization,” Oppenheim said.
