A new feature is being added to the WEHC sports broadcasts this year. During half-time of all football games and half-time of all home basketball games, not only will there be a recap of the game's first-half action and some prognostication regarding the second half, but listeners also will hear a segment entitled Emory & Henry in Sports History, which will chronicle some of the very significant contributions Emory & Henry sports programs have made to sports on a national level.

Hosted by WEHC's David St. Clair, Emory & Henry in Sports History will tell familiar stories and perhaps some not-so-familiar stories of Emory & Henry's legacy in sports. Listeners to the games will hear stories about the Tangerine Bowl teams, Glenn Roberts, Monte Weaver, Margaret Hutson, Fred Selfe, Bob Johnson, Eric Scott, Earl Hawkins, Joy Scruggs, Lou Wacker, ODAC championship teams, winning streaks, Homecoming games and many more.

So, stay tuned during halftime for the games' updates and for reports on the timeless quality of competition at Emory & Henry. These segments will be sponsored by Richard Graves Art of Abingdon, VA.

Immigrant in America

Dr. Ed Davis, host and producer says, "Immigration has shaped American life for its entire existence. Nearly every one listening to this show has an immigrant ancestry - one that includes hardship, tragedy, hope, fear and a powerful determination to survive." Join Dr. Davis and his geography seminar students and listen to stories, songs, poems and even some striking data.

Greetings! 2021 promises to be an exciting year for WEHC. As many of you may know, beloved long-time general manager Richard Graves left the station last summer to pursue his passion for art full time. He will always be part of the WEHC family. The stars aligned and I applied for the position thinking that my lifetime love of radio and the music and traditions of the region would be a good fit for this 9,000-watt beacon in Southwest Virginia. In January Leigh Anne Hunter joined the team and we have many exciting things in store. We have a great opportunity to work with students, giving them hands-on experience with all aspects of daily operations and encouraging their passion for radio. In return, they give us insight into the rapidly changing world of communications. It is our hope that going forward, WEHC will be a constant in the community and in your homes. We hope to give a stronger voice to our little corner of the world by spotlighting all that we have to offer in the form of quality talk shows, local and regional music, and maybe even a stage performance or two. Stay tuned. There's lots more to come.
