Anthony Hunt

Anthony Hunt has 37 years experience at radio stations in Idaho, Kansas, Minnesota, Maryland, and Indiana. From announcer to development director to station manager, Anthony has helped build audience, membership, & underwriting in every market.

While Anthony started in college as a newscaster and DJ in commercial radio, he found his calling when he moved to public broadcasting with its classical, jazz, and news formats. Public Broadcasting has been his life’s passion—to get more people to listen, enjoy, and support this community supported news and entertainment service. He loves public radio’s respect for the listener’s intelligence, and its ability to feed both sides of the brain: left & right—art & science.

Anthony grew up in a musical household. His father directed high school bands. His mother taught piano and been a church organist for over 60 years. Anthony's first solo at 11 was as a street urchin in La Bohème. Since then, he's performed in several Gilbert and Sullivan musicals, played “Snoopy” in You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown, the Narrator in Spamalot, and been both the dentist and the voice of the plant in "Little Shop of Horrors."

While working at Radio Kansas, Anthony met his wife, Carolyn, in Hutchinson, Kansas. They have 4 boys: Zachariah (26), Killian (23), Silas (21), and Ren (18). Hobbies include biking, swimming, cooking, gardening and singing and playing piano and mandolin.

He has served on the Governor's Lead Safe-Housing Advisory Council as a parent of children with lead poisoning as well as the boards of Bike Elkhart, Elkhart County Symphony, Heart City Health Center, and the IUSB Center for a Sustainable Future.
