• West Virginia Radio Corporation (WVRC) has tapped veteran broadcast executive George Pelletier as the company’s new President & CEO, effective Aug. 16. He will succeed Dale Miller, who earlier this week announced his retirement after 44 years with the company.

“After an extensive search, George Pelletier was the clear choice to lead West Virginia Radio Corporation into the future,” said John Raese, Chairman of the Board of Directors of West Virginia Radio Corp. “Given his extensive background and experience in smaller and medium markets, we knew right away that George was the right person for this very important position in our company.”

Pelletier brings with him over 37 years of experience in radio, radio networks and digital platforms. He most recently served as Regional President of Alpha Media, overseeing 28 of Alpha’s 22 markets. Prior to Alpha, Pelletier served as the COO of Digity, which was acquired by Alpha Media in 2016. Pelletier also served on the RAB’s Small Market Advisory Committee from 2000-2005 and as Chairman from 2003-2005.

Pelletier remarked, “I look forward to working closely with the staff and continuing the great service these radio properties provide to their local communities.”
