Hudson, former “Nightly Business Report” anchor, named VP of news

WLRN Public Radio and Television in Miami has named Tom Hudson, former anchor of “Nightly Business Report” on public television, as vice president of news.

A story on its website states, “Hudson joined WLRN in 2013 as a special correspondent, creator and host of The Sunshine Economy. He also hosts The Florida Roundup, WLRN’s award-winning, weekly public-affairs program.

“‘At this time of great change for the media industry, accurate, reliable and analytical news coverage has never been more in-demand,’ Hudson said. ‘WLRN is positioned with its partners, NPR and the Miami Herald, to provide more in-depth, more innovative and more meaningful news coverage for South Florida.’

“Hudson previously was the co-anchor and managing editor of the Nightly Business Report on public television.  While Hudson was co-anchoring and managing NBR, the program was awarded the 2012 Program of Excellence Award by American Public Television. He graduated Phi Beta Kappa from the University of Iowa and is the recipient of several professional honors and awards for his work in journalism.”
