• Saga’s Hampton Roads Media Group announced that longtime team member Sonja Morrell is stepping into a new role as Midday Host on Classic Rock WAFX (106.9 The Fox)/Norfolk. She will succeed market legend Mike Arlo (left), who recently passed away after a brief illness.

A familiar voice to listeners for 30 years, Morrell is no stranger to the midday shift. Her first job at Hampton Roads Media Group was middays on sister station WNOR (FM99) from 1996 to 2009. She moved over to The Fox airstaff in 2009, doing various shifts before landing in nights. In her not-so-spare time Morrell also the Marketing Director for Hampton Roads Media Group.

“No one can replace Arlo, but Sonja is uniquely qualified to continue the tradition he built,” said Mike Beck, Director of Content for Hampton Roads Media Group. “She has been Arlo’s backup for decades, and the listeners know her well. Sonja will honor Arlo’s legacy while bringing her own talents and personality to middays. Arlo and Sonja were great friends, and I’m sure he’s giving two thumbs up for this move.”
