Edgar Zuniga
Radio station KUUB has named Edgar Zuniga as program director. He will lead the new bilingual radio station owned by the University of Utah (the former KCPW) beginning July 1. Sister stations PBS Utah and KUER, also licensed to the university, acquired the 88.3 frequency from Wasatch Public Media last October. Zuniga is finishing an 18-month assignment in Europe as the Ukraine communications delegate for the American Red Cross. He worked as a journalist for NBCUniversal for 11 years, at both NBC News and Telemundo, before returning to Utah in 2020. He earned a degree at the University of Utah. Zuniga also served on the board of West View Media, a journalism nonprofit that covers the majority-minority neighborhoods of Salt Lake City’s West Side, and on the advisory board of PBS Utah, where he provided a voice to the state’s Latino communities.
