During his time at NPT, Crane oversaw the creation and production of local programs including Aging Matters, Children\u2019s Health Crisis, Tennessee Civil War 150 <\/strong>and the American Graduate<\/strong> project. In addition, he directed NPT\u2019s broadcast and information technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOn behalf of the board of directors of Nashville Public Television, I want to thank Kevin for his critical role in the development and success of the organization over the past 20 years,\u201d said Jeff Gregg, NPT\u2019s board chair. \u201cKevin leaves NPT in a very strong position and the board wishes him well in his future endeavors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daniel Tidwell, NPT\u2019s senior vice president of development & marketing, will serve as interim CEO while the board launches a national search for a new leader.
