WDAV Supports Simeone

WDAV, the public radio station that produces World of Opera, has issued the following statement regarding Lisa Simeone, the show's embattled host...

As host of World of Opera, Lisa Simeone is an independent contractor of WDAV Classical Public Radio. Ms. Simeone’s activities outside of this job are not in violation of any of WDAV’s employee codes and have had no effect on her job performance at WDAV. Ms. Simeone remains the host of World of Opera.

So it appears Simeone, who was abruptly fired from Soundprint over her involvement with a D.C. protest, will not lose her World of Opera gig.
