Virtual News Center has announced the addition of 92.3 WNPC, a Bristol Broadcasting Company, Inc. radio station, to its growing network of affiliate stations providing local news coverage to radio listeners.
Based in Bristol, Virginia, WNPC is strengthening its commitment to local news and community information through Virtual News Center’s professionally produced newscasts. Peter Kileen and JPbZet are anchoring daily newscasts for the station.
“WNPC is part of Bristol Broadcasting, and we have been providing news for their Charleston, West Virginia stations for years,” said Joel Dearing, CEO of Virtual News Center. “When WNPC's news needs changed, we were happy they thought of us as a solution for local news.”
For WNPC, the partnership provides access to professional local news coverage while giving the station the flexibility to meet its news needs without the cost of maintaining a full-time newsroom staff.
“At 92.3 WNPC, local news is an important part of our commitment to the community,” said Louanna Ottinger of Bristol Broadcasting Company, Inc. “Using Virtual News Center has allowed us to provide our listeners with professional, timely local news coverage while giving our station the resources we need without the expense of maintaining a full-time newsroom staff. Their team understands the importance of local content and delivers newscasts that fit our station and our market. Virtual News Center has been a valuable partner in helping WNPC keep our listeners informed and connected to the news that matters to them.”
The addition of WNPC further expands the relationship between Virtual News Center and Bristol Broadcasting, providing another Bristol Broadcasting station with access to Virtual News Center’s local-news production capabilities.
