MIDDLETOWN – WALL Radio, 1340 AM, which is licensed to the City of Middletown, is coming back home, to be broadcast locally. For the last several years, the station was actually transmitting from studios in Poughkeepsie.
The return to local programming is as the result of the purchase of the station by Neversink Media Group, LLC, owned by Bud and Juli Williamson of Orange County.
In addition to its AM frequency, WALL will also be heard on 94.1 FM, 94.9 FM and 105.7 FM as well as on HD radios at 101.5-HD2.
Mark West, a 35-year veteran of Hudson Valley broadcasting, will be back on the air doing the wake-up morning show, complete with his duck, Mortimer.
Williamson also announced that the news coverage will be provided by Hank Gross and his Mid-Hudson News Network.
The assignment of the WALL license is subject to the approval of the Federal Communications Commission.
