Pete Booker is a radio veteran with more than three decades of experience, and now serves as the general manager for Delaware Public Media (DPM). Founded in 2009 as a live-streamed news service, DPM acquired a radio license in partnership with University of Delaware and Delaware State University to broadcast on 91.1 WDDE in 2012. Before he was hired to lead DPM in 2022, Booker spent years at Delmarva Broadcasting Company, where he was president and CEO until his retirement in 2015. During his time there, he helped recruit some of Delaware’s most well-known radio broadcasters like Rick Jensen, the late Allan Loudell and more for WDEL.
