BLARNEY STONE BROADCASTING AC WLDR/TRAVERSE CITY is bringing in NORTHERN MICHIGAN radio vet SEAN FINSTER to do mornings, starting TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 3rd. He will be teamed with ABBEY COURTNEY, founder of the nonprofit, SPARK IN THE DARK. Previous morning-show co-host LORRI SCHREIBER will continue to host “Toast the Coast,” her wine segment, every THURSDAY morning, as well as do other special on-air projects.
“By the grace of God, I feel like a fish that’s been flopping out of the water for a year, and now I’m finally about to get my gills wet again,” FINSTER said. “I am just so very, very excited to be a part of people’s lives again, and to have those people be a part of my life. “[Listener] can expect to laugh a lot in the morning. I’m there to bring the funny, keep it lighthearted and make your ride to work seem a little quicker.”
“FINSTER is the one who dragged me into radio in the first place,” COURTNEY said. “I like to think SEAN is the spice and I’m the sugar. We have a very natural chemistry. He can be loud and outgoing, voicing his opinion on the spot when he’s got one. And I treat him like my work husband. You’ll hear a lot of friendly bickering.”
“We freed FINSTER!” BLARNEY STONE BROADCASTING Pres./GM SHERYL COYNE said. “We are all incredibly excited that we can help get FINSTER back into the studio to entertain on a 100,000kw signal covering a large geographic region in NORTHERN MICHIGAN and online at 1019wldr.com. This reinforces our longstanding commitment to bring the very best talent available to our ever-expanding market. And we share ABBEY’s profound commitment to the community.”
