Presented by Norm Silverstein, President and CEO

After nearly 30 years, Norm Silverstein will be retiring this year (when his successor is appointed). Under his leadership WXXI has grown from operating one television and two radio stations to running four public television channels, one cable channel for the City of Rochester, and six public radio stations. During his tenure WXXI has garnered more than 65 New York State Broadcasters Association Awards, 50 Telly Awards, 19 New York Emmy Awards, and 12 Edward R. Murrow Awards. Additionally the station has produced more than 30 documentaries that spotlight Rochester's history and culture. One of his proudest accomplishments is WXXI's national Move to Include TM initiative, a partnership with the Golisano Foundation that uses the power of public media to promote inclusion.
