For many who have listened to the local radio waves, he was
the voice of the Mid-Ohio Valley.
According to a story in the Parkersburg, OH newsandsentinel.com, Friday was the last day on the air for Doug Hess on
the radio stations of Clear Channel of the Mid-Ohio Valley.
The local newsman signed-off after 31 years working in
radio with the last 21 doing local news.
"It has been fun and a lot of work," Hess said.
"Doing the news has been really interesting and rewarding."
He has taken a job with The ARC of the Mid-Ohio Valley as
its new communications and outreach coordinator.
Hess started in radio playing music at a time when stations
were still using turntables and records. He said the business is changing. He
will turn 50 next year and the time had come to change gears as his children,
ages 10 and 11, and other interests are taking more of his priorities.
