Shepherd U.'s WSHC To Air Some West Virginia Public Broadcasting Programming

Deal With WSHC

SHEPHERD UNIVERSITY noncommercial Alternative WSHC/SHEPHERDSTOWN, WV is now simulcasting some WEST VIRGINIA PUBLIC BROADCASTING programming.

The simulcast arrangement leaves WSHC's student-run programming in place with the exceptions of weekday mornings, when the station will air NPR's "MORNING EDITION" and "WET VIRGINIA MORNING" 6-9a (ET), and SATURDAYS and SUNDAYS 6-10a and 8p-midnight, when the station will simulcast WVPB's programming.

GM MIKE MCCGOUGH said, “‘MORNING EDITION’ has grown into the nation’s leading radio news program.  Having the show on our campus radio station helps set a standard of excellence for the SHEPHERD students who comprise WSHC’s staff.”

WVPB CEO/Exec. Dir. SCOTT FINN added, “For many years, WEST VIRGINIA PUBLIC BROADCASTING and SHEPHERD UNIVERSITY have partnered to bring EASTERN PANHANDLE news to the rest of the state, and vice versa, through a bureau hosted by SHEPHERD that is now run by alumna LIZ MCCORMICK.  Now, with WSHC 89.7’s agreement to simulcast ‘MORNING EDITION’ and ‘WEST VIRGINIA MORNING,’ more people will be able to hear LIZ’s excellent reporting on the EASTERN PANHANDLE, as well as many other excellent shows.”
