STATION EDITORIAL
Posted February 24, 2025
This is a station editorial, I’m Randal J. Miller, station president.
I want to take this time to brag a bit on our great staff in both Taylorville and Clinton that provide LOCAL radio each and every day.
The most recent example of that were our High School Road Tour in January, and our First Responders Road Tour in February, in both markets.
Our sales staff secured sponsorships to enable our programming staff to hit the road across our 12 counties and do live broadcasts from a host of high schools in January, along with Police and Fire Stations in February.
In January, our 2 news and information stations WTIM Taylorville and WHOW Clinton did a combined eleven live broadcasts from area high schools during each station’s respective Morning Shows. Our programming staff interviewed the host high school principal, athletic director, Student Council president, and one extracurricular student representative find out all the great things happening at our local high schools.
In February, WTIM and WHOW did a combined eleven live broadcasts during our respective Morning Shows, from police and fire stations, visiting with those who put their lives on the line to protect us and keep us safe.
Our entire staff at both clusters of radio stations were involved in the sales, programming and scheduling of these live broadcasts. Kudos to all of them for doing a record 22 live broadcasts of our Morning Shows from locations other than our respective studios, in just 2 months!
This is what LOCAL RADIO is all about: Telling the story of each community!
Our radio group remains committed to telling the story of our great communities in the 12 counties our 2 radio station clusters serve. That’s the legacy of LOCAL RADIO in our markets. Our 2 heritage news and information stations WHOW and WTIM have a combined 151 years of service to Central Illinois.
We’re continuing our pledge to YOU to SERVE. That’s our opinion, we welcome yours. Our e-mail address is editorial@randyradio.com.
