Peter Fay Becomes Colleen Fay

From DCRTV:

On 11/20, Peter Fay (right), longtime arts editor for American University news talker WAMU 88.5′s “Metro Connection,” transitioned to life as Colleen Fay. One of the original forces behind the launch of “Metro Connection” in 1995, Fay, who is transgender, will continue as the show’s arts editor. She will talk about this transition with “Metro Connection” host and producer David Furst on the show’s broadcast at 1 PM on Friday, 11/30. “This has been an amazing time for me, and it’s far from over. I’m both excited and terrified about what the future may bring. That being said, WAMU 88.5 and ‘Metro Connection’ hold special places in my heart, and I hope that our listeners can bear with me through this change,” said Fay. “I want them to know that even as I change, my admiration and affection for them will not change.” Adds Furst: “What’s important for me as the producer of the show is that the on-air information will stay the same – Colleen will continue to engage the local arts community and bring our listeners the same high-quality arts coverage they have come to expect”…..
