Williamsport PA Radio: Shawn Carey Lands Morning Drive On WILQ


Following the radio retirement of Backyard Broadcasting Operations Manager Ted Minier, which included an extremely successful 22-year run as morning show host on Country 105.1 WILQ/Williamsport, PA, Program Director Shawn Carey, slides out of middays and up to AM drive.

Carey’s Corner will air from 5-10AM ET.

“I’m absolutely honored and thrilled to be handed the keys to my new, earlier, on-air roll at Backyard Broadcasting. To be allowed to move to morning drive is something I don’t take for granted. This truly is a rare opportunity to begin the day on such a well-known heritage station like WILQ! Here in the Susquehanna Valley, the over 50-year tradition of WILQ is unmatched and I can’t wait to help that continue. Carey’s Corner is where entertainment and information meet. It will absolutely set the tone for the rest of the day! My heartfelt thanks to owner Van Michael for the chance to wake up Central PA as well as outgoing OM Ted Minier for his steadfast leadership and guidance.”

In other lineup changes on the Q, taking over middays is Production Director Tom Scott, who filled that daypart close to two years ago when Carey recovered from ankle fusion surgery…and Mark Mac leaves the overnight hours to host evenings, 7 to midnight.
