John Mussoni, WHYY's managing editor for Delaware news, will temporarily replace Chris Satullo as interim vice president for news and civic engagement, WHYY chief operating officer Kyra McGrath told staffers Wednesday.

WHYY is the dominant public-broadcasting TV and radio operation in the Philadelphia area.

Satullo left abruptly last week, giving an emotional goodbye to several dozen WHYY staffers outside in Franklin Square. Satullo, the top-ranking news executive at WHYY, was allowed back in the office for only one day, according to an internal memo announcing his departure.

WHYY said that Mussoni will fill Satullo's position while the organization searches for a permanent replacement.
