Saga Communications’ “96.5 Live Free Country” WMLL Bedford/Manchester NH has debuted its full on-air lineup.
WMLL, which flipped to Country last December, will be anchored by Tommy Jordan and Laura Stelchook in mornings. It marks a return to the company for Jordan, who previously hosted mornings at Saga Hot AC “Q108” WCVQ Clarksville TN. He most recently was hosting weekends/fill-ins at Audacy AC “B101” WBEB Philadelphia and has also served as morning host at Hot AC “107.7 Yes-FM” KLZK Lubbock TX, PD/morning host at “Key 103.1” WAFY Frederick MD, afternoons at “K-Hits 106.9” KHTT Tulsa, and sixteen years in multiple dayparts at 94.5 WPST Trenton NJ. Jordan states, “I am thrilled for this opportunity! Thank you to Lucy Lange for bringing me back to the Saga family. I am so excited to be in New England and working with Laura.”
Stelchook is a holdover from co-hosting mornings at WMLL’s previous Classic Rock format since 2017 and has also worked at Sports WGHM Manchester.
Mark Healey, Program Director/morning host of Saga Country “98.7 Wink Country” WINQ Winchester/Keene NH will host middays. He will be followed by Brand Manager Michael Czarnecki using the air name ‘Michael James’ in afternoons, while AC 95.7 WZID Manchester morning traffic reporter Sophie Sargent will host nights.
Brand Manager Michael Czarnecki said, “In an era where more and more stations are using out of state remote voice trackers, syndication, and corporate playlists, we are so fortunate and thrilled to offer local talent and local programming to super serve southern New Hampshire.”
Market President, Lucy Lange added, “Our company is firmly committed to supporting our local community, the only way you can do that, is being part of the fabric of the cities and towns, we serve. Listeners are smart, they know if you are local. Tommy is the perfect complement to 96.5 Live Free Country local team.”
