Sinclair Communications Alternative “96X” WROX-FM Exmore/Norfolk VA has announced the addition of Premiere Networks’ The Woody Show for mornings.
With the addition of The Woody Show, WROX-FM Program Director Nick Chappell has moved from mornings to afternoons. That fills the hole created by the exit of Crizti Walsh last month to serve as host/producer of Morning Edition on Public News/Talk 89.5 WHRV-FM.
The Woody Show previously aired in the Norfolk/Virginia Beach market on iHeartMedia’s now defunct “Alt 105.3” WNOH from November 2018 until the station changed formats in June 2020.
Sinclair Communications announced today the addition of “The Woody Show” to 96X (WROX-FM) – Independent. Rock. Alternative. – in Norfolk, Va. Effective immediately, the top-rated morning show now broadcasts weekdays from 6 – 10 a.m. ET on the station.
“The Woody Show” is highly-interactive, socially-engaging appointment radio. Featuring Woody, along with co-hosts Ravey, Greg Gory, Menace and Sebas, “The Woody Show” is described by listeners as “authentic,” “raw,” “unapologetic” and “recess/happy hour on the radio.” In 2016, the popular program was a NAB Marconi Radio Award finalist for “Major Market Personality of the Year,” and it was launched into national syndication by Premiere Networks in 2017. Fans can follow the show on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
“I feel confident saying that the public never saw this coming, and now that we’re here, don’t want it,” said Woody. “But I appreciate Bob Sinclair, Nick Chappell and the team at 96X for knowing what Norfolk needs better than its own citizens do.”
“We’re thrilled to be carrying ‘The Woody Show’ on 96X,” said Nick Chappell, 96X Program Director. “The show is funny, relatable, and gives listeners entertaining and compelling content to listen to on their morning drive to work. It’s a great fit and we’re confident our listeners will love it.”
