Legends of Broadcast: Diane Rehm

Diane Rehm will be the guest of honor at the Legends of Broadcast dinner being held Thursday, May 18 at 6:30-8:30 p.m. in the Holeman Lounge

Rehm is a native Washingtonian who began her radio career in 1973 as a volunteer for WAMU 88.5, the NPR member station in Washington, D.C. She was hired as an assistant producer and later became the host and producer of two health-oriented programs.

In 1979, she began hosting WAMU’s local morning talk show, Kaleidoscope, which was renamed The Diane Rehm Show in 1984. The Diane Rehm Show grew from a local program to one with international reach and a weekly on-air audience of nearly 3 million.
