  • 2/11 Larry Rifkin Book Signing

    Meet veteran CPTV Exec. Larry Rifkin and pick up a signed copy of his compelling new book No Dead Air.

    Larry Rifkin’s career in Connecticut broadcasting spans five decades and includes varied roles including television programming executive, radio personality and now podcaster.

    Best known for his nearly thirty years as programming chief for Connecticut Public Television, Rifkin was inducted into the Boston/New England Silver Circle in 2006 by the region’s chapter of NATAS, the organization that awards Emmys, in recognition of lifetime achievement in the industry.

    In his new book, ‘No Dead Air’, Rifkin reflects on an improbable career that spawned two groundbreaking hits, ‘Barney & Friends’ and ‘UConn Women’s Basketball’.

    Event will take place at the UConn Bookstore, 2075 Hillside Rd. Storrs from 4:30-7 pm before the UConn Women's Basketball game at Gampel.
