Augusta & Albemarle County, Virginia
As we first told you back in April, veteran radio talk show host and long time Charlottesville program director, Joe Thomas, announced his plans to acquire and launch the WTON radio network based out of Staunton, Virginia with reach from Harrisonburg to Crozet and beyond.
After going off the air as part of an asset sale in October of last year, WTON radio is re-born this Memorial Day weekend.
“We want to hear YOUR voice,” said Chief Operations Officer and Morning Host Joe Thomas, “we’ll bring you coverage of the LOCAL stories from this wide area we’ll be covering as we develop the BEST local shows alongside an all-star lineup of shows all day!”
Local News, Local Business
“We’re building a newsroom that will tell you what is GOING to be happening, not just what DID happen.” Thomas added. “Local businesses will be able to connect with the local listeners around the clock so they can stand out and stay prosperous!”
From the WV line to IVY
WTON’s legendary 1240am signal has been serving Staunton since 1942 and her new life includes FM signals blasting from the top of Afton Mountain at 101.1 and in downtown Harrisonburg on 98.9fm.. Thomas concluded saying; “as all of us are trying to stretch the dollars we have more radio is uniquely positioned AGAIN to be the vehicle that helps them through.”
