Duncan McFadyen, WCQS morning news host and reporter, is leaving his position with WCQS to become morning host and reporter at public radio station WFAE in Charlotte.
"I am excited about the opportunity at WFAE, but I've really enjoyed getting to know the people of beautiful Western North Carolina, and I'm glad I'm not moving too far away," he said.
While at WCQS, McFadyen produced numerous reports on environmental and political issues, as well as features on the wooly adelgid infestation in the WNC hemlock, food trucks in Asheville, the summer camp industry in WNC and others
"Duncan has been a valuable member of the WCQS staff. From day one, I have enjoyed working with him," said WCQS News Director David Hurand. "Duncan has a very bright future in journalism and we wish him all the best."
McFadyen's new post at WFAE is an important steppingstone in his career, said Jody Evans, WCQS executive director. "This is a great move for Duncan," she said. "We hate to see him leave, but we all knew he was destined for great things when we hired him. The best part is that Duncan will still be heard from time to time on WCQS when he files stories for the North Carolina Public Radio Association's news sharing initiative.
WCQS will begin a search for a new full time Morning Edition host and news reporter immediately.http://www.wcqs.org/about/jobs/job-opportunties Deadline for application is EOB June 22. For any additional information please contact WCQS Executive Director Jody Evans at jevans@wcqs.org
