Phil Wilke arrived in Chico after one fire and before another, and the Carr and Camp fires affect what he does every day. Wilke, the new General Manager of North State Public Radio, 91.7 FM, took over the station just after the Carr Fire burned down the network’s transmitter in Redding and two months before the Camp Fire devastated Butte County. Since then, the Redding transmitter has been brought back online and the station’s coverage of the Camp Fire – including their weekly, 30-minute show “After Paradise”, airing 6:30 p.m. Thursdays – have gained national attention. “After Paradise” is dedicated to post-fire recovery information.
