Governor Ned Lamont has ordered all executive branch state office buildings closed to the public today due to the winter storm. All level 2 state employees who are able to telework have been ordered to telework for the duration of the storm related closures, but all other level 2 state employees whose job duties cannot be performed via telework should not report to work in-person. Following the snow that fell overnight, and snow that is still expected to fall during the normal morning commute today, the governor said he was making the decision out of an abundance of caution. The governor also strongly encourages everyone in Connecticut to stay off the roads this morning unless absolutely necessary so that plow crews can clear the roads.
Ed Histed
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.
