News Summary:
On July 31, 2026, the parent organization of the PBS and NPR Member stations for Florida’s First Coast and Brunswick, Ga., selected Karen Feagins as its next President/CEO. Feagins, an "accomplished leader with deep ties" to WJCT-TV and WJCT-FM in Jacksonville, will assume her new role on August 31, 2026. Previously, on September 4, 2025, WJCT partnered with HCA Florida Healthcare to host a free lunch and learn event at its studios, where four neuro experts discussed stroke signs, symptoms, and treatment options. Earlier, on August 12, 2025, WJCT and HCA Florida Healthcare jointly invited the public to another free lunch and learn at WJCT Studios, featuring experts discussing advanced care planning, critical care treatments, and ethics of care, including David Rice MD, Dale Mueller MD, and Michael Heid DO. This followed an appeal on July 7, 2025, when WJCT Public Media requested donations from its listeners after Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis vetoed approximately $5.7 million in state funding for public radio and television stations, a move the Jacksonville-based organization called "deeply troubling."
