After a classical radio career that took him to New York, Fred Child is back in his hometown as CEO of Portland’s All Classical Radio.

“I’m proud of the work I did as a national host and feel extraordinarily lucky to work with so many of my musical heroes on the national and global musical scene, and to bring those connections back to Portland feels fantastic. This is such a talented creative team already. I have the privilege of getting to focus on the big picture and creating an environment in which they can do their best work and serve the audience better and expand who that audience is. 2025 was a really interesting year for public broadcasting everywhere, and I want to help All Classical weather the storm and recommit to the core mission of sharing great classical music with as many people as possible.”
