After more than 17 years of hosting mornings on the Federal News Network, Tom Temin has set his retirement date and will begin looking for a replacement.
Temin — who hosts The Federal Drive from 6-10 AM — will step away from the Hubbard Radio Washington D.C. news station in April of next year, ending his more than 45-year run as a journalist.
“Managing and anchoring the Federal Drive is one of the best and most rewarding jobs in Washington journalism. It’s the chance to interact with and bring out the stories and perspectives of leading thinkers in federal management, the contracting community, and the legal, think-tank and academic domains,” said Temin. “Plus it’s great fun and the opportunity to work with a dedicated and talented team.”
“The Federal Drive is where the community of federal employees and the contracting community come to discuss issues that matter to the mission of delivering government. Therefore, we are seeking a dynamic person that can provide this content to the community omnichannel, in the way they consume it,” said Federal News Network Publisher Jeffrey Wolinsky. “Tom’s contributions over the past 17 years are immeasurable and have impacted so many in the community. His shoes will be impossible to replace and difficult to fill.”
The hunt for Temin’s replacement is underway. According to the news outlet, “experience in developing ideas, conducting and managing interviews is strongly preferred, but consideration will be given for the right person with the right background in federal issues.” Additionally, the new host will be “primarily responsible for show content and adherence to Federal News Network editorial niche of serving federal employees and contractors.” Those interested in applying for the position can click here.
