Ken Freedman Biography

Ken Freedman is one of the most popular and richest Manager who was born on February 18, 1959 in United States. Ken Freedman (born February 18, 1959) is general manager of WFMU, a freeform and independent radio station. He co-hosts the conceptual comedy program Seven Second Delay with Andy Breckman, as well as hosting his own freeform radio program on Wednesday mornings (9:00–noon Eastern Time). He is the co-founder of Congera, a public benefit corporation.

Freedman is a resident of Hoboken, New Jersey. He has been married to Harriett (“Hank”) Lewis since 1987. They have two children, Harry and Daisy. Ken’s brother, Samuel G. Freedman, is an author of several books, as well as a religion columnist for The New York Times, and a Professor at the Columbia School of Journalism. Their sister Carol is the founder of Carol’s Creative Chocolatez.

In 1992, he founded the non-profit organization Auricle Communications, which purchased WFMU’s license from Upsala in 1994. These actions allowed WFMU to survive when the college went bankrupt in 1995.

A core strategy for the station was to embrace the World Wide Web, launching its website in 1993, streaming its broadcasts full-time in 1997, and archiving most broadcasts from 2000. Under Freedman’s management, annual donations to the station (which is funded exclusively by listener support) grew from $50,000 in 1983, to $750,000 in 1999, to over $1,800,000 in 2012. Freedman has made it his mission to keep up with digital technological developments and how they impact radio. “I keep abreast of new technology mainly from my children and their friends, as well as the youngest generation of programmers and superfans at WFMU,” he explained in a 2018 Radio World interview.

In February 1986, Freedman launched a program guide/zine called LCD (Lowest Common Denominator), featuring work by many internationally known writers and artists, including Nick Tosches, Jim Woodring, Drew Friedman, Gary Panter, Harvey Pekar, Dan Clowes, Tony Millionaire, and Chris Ware. In November 2007, The Best of LCD: The Art and Writing of WFMU, was published by Princeton Architectural Press. It was compiled and edited by longtime WFMU radio host Dave “The Spazz” Abramson.
