Mr. Reep will oversee viewer membership for KSPS, where 70 percent of the station's annual income is derived from contributions by member viewers.

"We're ecstatic to welcome Skyler to the KSPS development team," said Dawn Bayman, KSPS-TV director of development. "His experience, knowledge, and proven track record will be invaluable in reaching new audiences using traditional and new fundraising strategies."

Mr. Reep brings more than 10 years of advanced management experience.
