If you are looking for some variety in radio programming, don't forget about 1340 WOUB-AM. We launched a new schedule in January 2013. It is now about three months old and if you haven't found it, we want to give you a gentle reminder.

Every weekday morning from 6-9 a.m. you can start your day with Public Radio Re-mix. It is a series of short stories delivered in a fast-paced format. Some are done by professionals and some are done by just ordinary people with extraordinary audio stories to tell.

As faithful listeners to WOUB radio over the years, you have become used to hearing a calm and deliberate voice saying: "This is Fred Kight, WOUB News."

When you heard that voice, you were reassured that you were getting accurate and dependable information from a professional newsman who understood your situation, your issues, and this region.

For almost 32 years, Fred's voice boomed out over our listening area of 55 counties and three states bringing you complete and detailed information about what was happening in our area that would affect your life.

But, times have changed. News is no longer a monologue. It is no longer one dimensional.

It is now a dialogue between the media and the news consumer. It is a conversation involving traditional television and radio and also online sources and multiple forms of social media. It also is mobile -- news where you want it and how you want it.

Occasionally in life, you cross paths with someone who serendipitously makes a mark on your life, leaves a lasting impression and actually alters your future. Such was the case with me and Connie Stevens – a long time WOUB employee.

Connie spent more than 20 years at WOUB from November 1979 through June 2001 and most of that time as WOUB AM Program Coordinator. I am sure most of you remember her voice and her easy-going “on-air” style as she greeted you every weekday morning for a number of years.
