WBT has announced it is partnering with The Carolina Journal for a new learning morning show hosted by Nick Craig.
The Carolina Journal News Hour on WBT will air weekdays from 5-6 AM with Craig — who joins after previously hosting mornings at WAAV in Wilmington, NC — focusing on state-wide news, politics, and business stories.
“I am beyond excited about the incredible opportunity to work with the John Locke Foundation/Carolina Journal and the iconic WBT radio,” said Craig. “Bringing talk radio to a new generation is not just a personal passion of mine but a vital step in shaping the future of political discourse. I am eager to embark on this journey to elevate the level of political conversation for years to come.”
“The Carolina Journal News Hour on WBT with Nick Craig is the next evolution of WBT’s already amazing live and local lineup, and it will deliver the news, information and analysis that our listeners have come to expect from us as they start the day,” added WBT Program Director Mike Schaefer. “I can’t wait to hear what these two great teams bring to our listeners every morning!”
The new program will debut on Monday, September 16th.
“This powerful partnership will take the public conversation to a new level in North Carolina,” said Carolina Journal Editor-in-Chief Donna King. “Carolina Journal and WBT each have a long history of pioneering journalism, offering North Carolinians fact-based news and analysis that matters. Whether in politics, investigative stories, or public policy, the combined resources of our organizations ensure up-to-the-minute coverage and context that listeners truly cannot get anywhere else.”
