Morgantown, WV Is Promotion City
• Morgantown, WV-based WVRC Media announced two key programming department upgrades: Matt Kelly, longtime PD and afternoon personality on Top 40 102 WVAQ has been upped to Operations Manager for WVAQ and Country clustermate WKKW. It was concurrently announced that WKKW PD Mike Vincent has been elevated to WVRC’s Corporate Country Music Director.
“We are thrilled for both these key team members to move into expanded roles with our operations,” said Travis Jones, WVRC Media VP of Content. “We are excited to continue to serve both our Morgantown and other markets with outstanding local programming and community involvement.”
Kelly (left), who joined the company in 2011, said, “I have been so fortunate to work with some of the best broadcasters that have passed through these halls over the past 11 years. I can’t wait to continue and build upon everything I have learned from them. I aim to teach and help others, just as those mentors did with me.” He added, “We have an amazing crew of talented people in this building, in every department. I enjoy working with all of them every day, serving the very same community I grew up in and continue to reside. I’m so proud, and grateful for this new opportunity. I look forward to the future, and all the great things we will accomplish here.”
Vincent (right) is a 36-year radio veteran who was named PD of WKKW in March 2019, following a stint as OM of the Cumulus cluster in Melbourne, FL. His career also includes prior programming and on-air positions at KBWF/San Francisco; WSJR/Wilkes-Barre, PA; WRWD/Poughkeepsie, NY; WFLS/Fredericksburg, VA and the former WYNY (Y107)/New York. “This is a thrill and an honor to move into this position at the time I celebrate a third anniversary for WVRC Media,” Vincent said. “My heartfelt thanks to George Pelletier, Christian Miller, and Travis Jones for their belief and faith in me allowing me to get me to this pinnacle of my career. I look forward to working with the rest of the Country Programming team to make our country radio stations some of the best in the business.”
