General Managers of Dartmouth Broadcasting
Note: Dartmouth Broadcasting has been run by a student “directorate” of four to ten members, appointed by their predecessors. I hope to assemble a list of all directorate members over the years, with an indication of the careers they later pursued. Such a list has never existed, and records at the station are quite sketchy for some periods. If you were a member of the station and can add to this list your input is welcome. Following are the General Managers as I currently have them.
