Wren Baker was officially announced as the new Athletic Director of the University of North Texas today, Baker had been serving as Interim Athletic Director at the University of Missouri.

The announcement was widely anticipated and comes less than a month after Mack Rhoades left the Athletic Director post at Mizzou to take a similar job at Baylor University.

In an email to the University of Missouri community, Interim MU Chancellor Hank Foley called the search for a permanent Athletic Director "a top priority" and said he would serve in the role in the meantime. 

A curious Columbia, Mo. native, Bram Sable-Smith has documented mbira musicians in Zimbabwe, mining protests in Chile, and the St. Louis airport's tumultuous relationship with the Chinese cargo business. His reporting from Ferguson, Mo. was part of a KBIA documentary honored by the Missouri Broadcasters Association and winner of a national Edward R. Murrow Award. He comes to KBIA most recently from the Salt Institute for Documentary Studies in Portland, Maine.
