Scott Blankenship

WNIU Classical Music Host

Indications that radio was Scott's blood go back to age five, when he used a corkboard and a battered phonograph as a makeshift radio studio.  His real radio career began in college, working as a volunteer at a local cable radio station, announcing alternative and new rock music.  His love and appreciation of classical music began at a public radio station in Nebraska, where he spent 13 years in various on-air and management roles.  In his spare time, Scott is an avid cyclist and amateur playwright with several produced scripts to his credit.
