Al Levine, legendary host of “On the Scene,” most recently heard on Long Island’s 106.1 WBLI, and veteran radio broadcaster, has joined the staff of WHPC 90.3 FM, The Voice of Nassau Community College in Garden City. In this position, Levine will have a significant impact on the Nassau Community College community. According to college sources, “By bringing professionalism, experience, and expertise to the table, he will provide significant value to the work that is already heard on the air daily at WHPC. Many students who participate at WHPC move on to successful careers in the media industry, including at radio stations owned by iHeartMedia, Connoisseur Media, Cox Media Group, JVC Media, and others nation-wide. Levine joins the radio station to help catapult their professional experience before they even start their careers, giving them an edge over others who apply for the same positions in the industry.” Shawn Novatt, WHPC’s full-time faculty director tells TALKERS, “I am excited about bringing Al Levine to the WHPC scene,” adding, “Having also worked in commercial radio before coming to NCC, I know first-hand what Al will bring to the station, including his ability to help guide on-air personalities to get the best out of them both on, and off the air. The future of WHPC – and the radio industry – is brighter than ever, and I can’t wait to add to what we do at WHPC with Al at the station.” Levine comments, “I am excited and can’t get wait to get started at WHPC. I’ve had the privilege to help, hire and inspire talent on a professional level, many of whom got their start on air and have gone on to bigger radio markets. I thank Shawn for recognizing my experience which should prove instrumental for this position. Did I mention this is going to be fun?” Pictured above (l-r): Levine with student broadcasters Devin O’ Shea, Josue Bran (seated), and Linda Faulk. Photo by Shawn Novatt.
