Board of Trustees
Detroit Public Television is governed by a Board of Trustees led by Board Chair, Melonie Colaianne, President, MASCO Foundation. The board is composed of representatives from the local, business, civic, and cultural communities. The station is operated by a professional staff headed by President and General Manager Rich Homberg.
