Russell to Replace Rogers at PBS SoCaL

Mel Rogers will retire from his post as president and chief executive of Costa Mesa-based PBS SoCaL effective April 30.

PBS SoCaL Board of Trustees appointed Chief Operating Officer Andrew Russell to replace him.

Rogers was stationโ€™s second president and served in the post for the past 18 years, overseeing KOCE-TVโ€™s changeover to PBS SoCaL. The new name came as PBS SoCal took on flagship status for the public broadcasting system in Southern California in 2011, when KCET-TV in Los Angeles went independent.

โ€œThe entire Board wishes to recognize Mel for his many contributions to public television and for his vision and determination to raise the station to where it is today,โ€ PBS SoCaL Chairman Jim McCluney said in a statement.

Russell is a former PBS executive who is credited with reshaping its primetime strategy before joining PBS SoCaL in 2013.
