Cleveland City Club Forum welcomes Bill Baker, former President of WNET in New York. He has been one of the most influential men in the world of television, producing programs such as Charlie Rose, Bill Moyers Journal, Nature, Cyberchase, and Great Performances.

Bill Baker has won seven Emmys and two Columbia Dupont Journalism awards, and was named to the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences Management Hall of Fame and the Broadcasting and Cable Hall of Fame.
