    Wisconsin Public Radio For Immediate Release Contact: Rick Reyer, Central Regional Manager Ph: 715-261-6391 or [email protected] Phil Corriveau, Former Director Of Wisconsin Public Radio, Passes Away Madison, Wis. – It is with great sadness that Wisconsin Public Radio (WPR) announces the death of our friend and former director, Phil Corriveau. His leadership, optimism and commitment to WPR’s mission will continue to benefit listeners for years to come. Current WPR Director Mike Crane embraced that optimism when Corriveau hired him as chief operating officer in 2008. “There are so many positive things that started with Phil,” Crane said. “He set the stage for expanding our radio networks. He believed in growing our Major and Planned Giving effort. He had a vision for us reaching new audiences across the state. He was an incredibly positive force, I’m really going to miss him.” Crane said. Corriveau was a Wisconsin native who received both his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from UW-Madison. As he told the Isthmus weekly in 2010, he discovered his love of radio as a freshman board operator working a summer job in 1971 at WPR’s flagship station, WHA. That summer job turned into a career. In 1974, Corriveau was hired as an engineer at WHA, where he continued to build his resume. From engineering, he moved into production and, by the end of the decade, he was serving as programming and production manager. In 1980, he was hired as the first general manager of what is now called Capital Public Radio in Sacramento.
