Frustration is growing among Wilton leaders over delays in completing the town’s fiscal year 2025 audit. Several members of the Board of Selectmen say communication has been lacking, especially from a consultant hired to reconcile the town’s finances. Officials say the audit has already missed multiple internal deadlines, though town leadership insists the work will still be finished by the state-required June 30 deadline. The delay has raised concerns about possible penalties and the town’s financial standing.
Town leaders say problems stem in part from a failed rollout of a new accounting system.
Ed launched his radio career in 1975 and has spent more than five decades in the broadcasting industry. During that time, he has served in a wide range of roles including Air Personality, News Director, Sales Manager, Operations Manager, and General Manager at numerous radio stations in various markets across the country.
Beyond on-air and management responsibilities, Ed has also worked extensively on the technical side of broadcasting. His background includes RF engineering and information technology, with particular experience configuring digital automation systems and remote voice-tracking platforms used by stations across the country.
Ed was also among a select group of industry professionals invited by Google to its California headquarters following the company’s acquisition of Scott Studios. He was one of just 12 broadcasters nationwide chosen to participate in discussions and provide input during the design and rollout of Google’s digital broadcast automation platform.
Although the majority of Ed’s career—spanning roughly four decades—was rooted in music radio, he transitioned into news and information programming in 2012. He says the move into spoken-word broadcasting was a natural evolution after decades of experience in multiple areas of the industry.
