Say it ain't so Craig but congrats on your new position. I hope WDET will keep a Detroit-focused show but it will be difficult to find another host as well-informed as Craig with his even disposition. The show has been a great source of information and interviews for Detroit

Craig will become director of public affairs and senior adviser for the the blight-fighting Detroit Land Bank Authority.
“I will be involved in strategic planning for the direction of the department, not simply a spokesperson,” Fahle told Crain’s this morning.

“Craig is going to be a great asset to the community over at the Land Bank,” Duggan said in a statement this evening. “He understands exactly the importance of our auction and how it and other Land Bank programs are going to transform neighborhoods across Detroit. He also brings more than just his skills as a professional communicator to his new role. Craig will play an important role in the future direction the Land Bank takes.”

Fahle’s show has emerged as an influential media platform for discussion of Detroit, garnering awards and praise for Fahle from industry watchers such as Columbia Journalism Review.

He said he’s leaving radio because it’s a job that will allow him to be involved in revitalizing the city in a different way. He said the city approached him about the position.

His last show will be on August 8. Full story at Crain's >>
