Tag: morning drive news anchor

Wisconsin radio company Big Radio names Josh Wescott the morning drive news anchor for its stations in Monroe and Freeport, Wisconsin. Wescott is the former radio news director and morning host at iHeartMedia’s news/talk WIBA-AM, Madison.  Wescott comments, “Good journalism requires a lot of good listening and attention to what matters most to those in the communities they call home. Our news will talk about what people are talking about, be factual, and will ask the next question so people can reconnect with their local communities and schools in a way that journalism hasn’t consistently afforded in recent years.  Online and social media disinformation is steadily driving people back to how they used to find out what’s happening, and Big Radio is well-positioned to meet this moment and lead the re-emergence of local radio news in this region and beyond.” Big Radio – owned by father and son Scott and Ben Thompson – owns and operates 10 radio stations in the Monroe, Freeport, Janesville, and Beloit, Wisconsin markets.
