PBS Reno Promotes Melissa Peel to Traffic Manager
RENO, NV (NOVEMBER 19, 2024) — PBS Reno has promoted Melissa Peel to Traffic Manager. In her new role as Traffic Manager, Peel is responsible for inputting and maintaining the monthly program schedule and daily production of broadcast logs for PBS Reno channel 5.1, Reno Create channel 5.2, and PBS KIDS on PBS Reno channel 5.3. Peel is also responsible for pertinent FCC and Nielsen reporting, and strategically scheduling underwriting content, program promos, and additional content to ensure a seamless 24/7/365 signal on all three channels.
“I feel so blessed to be a part of the PBS Reno family,” said Peel. “Thank you for the opportunity to be surrounded by amazing and outstanding individuals who care deeply about our community.”
Peel joined PBS Reno in 2015, having first served as a Broadcast Content Operator. She was promoted to Programming Assistant in 2023. Peel earned a reputation for having great communication, an intense work ethic, and a thorough understanding of her responsibilities.
“Melissa has been an integral part of the PBS Reno team for many years,” said Megan Myers, PBS Reno Vice President of Development. “When she moved into the role of Programming Assistant and our previous Traffic Manager retired after 27 years of service, Peel was unphased and taught herself and a new team member along the way. She is impressive, talented, a go-getter, and has an eagle eye for detail which is needed in the role of Traffic Manager. I have no doubt under Melissa’s leadership the traffic team will continue to thrive and keep our ratings soaring, which is a reflection of our community’s appreciation for PBS Reno and the services we provide.”
