Woodward Radio Group’s News/Talk WHBY/Appleton, WI is adding a new show to its airwaves, with Ben Cominos coming on board for a new talk show (h/t Radio Online).
“Outside the Box with Ben Cominos,” weekdays from 8:30 a.m.-11 a.m., beginning Tuesday, Sept. 6. Cominos comes to WHBY from Pittsburgh, PA, where he was the PM Drive Producer for “The Rick Dayton Show” and fill-in talk host at KDKA-AM.
“I’m thrilled for the opportunity to work for one of the oldest talk stations in the entire country,” Cominos said. “The tradition at WHBY mixed with its engagement and involvement with the local community is what brought me to this city.”
“I can’t wait to get this show on the road, learn about the area, and try my best to bring an entertaining and interesting show to our listeners, and if we’re lucky, enact some positive change in the area.”
WHBY’s new lineup will also bring back a live, locally produced weekly news show from 4–6 p.m. Jonathan Krause will host “Your News Now on WHBY” beginning Monday, Sept. 12.
“We are extremely excited to add Ben to the WHBY and Woodward Radio Group team,” Brand Manager B.J. DeGroot said.
“His engaging personality and passion for radio is the perfect recipe for a dynamic show. Ben’s exactly the culture fit WRG strives for and will be a tremendous addition to an award-winning team.”
