Longtime radio business writer and editor Paul Heine has announced he will exit his role at Inside Radio and head into retirement.
Heine — who has served as Managing Editor at Inside Radio since 2015 — will step down as the outlet’s editorial leader in April.
Paul Heine joined Inside Radio in September 2009 as Senior Editor, before being elevated to Managing Editor in June 2015.
“Paul is a difficult manager to replace. His knowledge of the radio industry runs deep, as does his affection for radio,” says Inside Radio Publisher and Manager Gene McKay. “Overseeing a well-known industry-leading publication like Inside Radio is a demanding job, but I could always count on Paul to find accurate and interesting stories for our readers.”
After working in radio at stations in Rochester and Buffalo, Heine began his industry trade career in 1985, working for Radio & Records, Billboard Radio Monitor, and the Friday Morning Quaterback.
“I’m calling this a ‘semi-retirement.’ While I’m pulling back from full-time hours, I still plan to be involved in the industry in the future,” Heine said.
