UNCLE JOHNNY

Uncle JohnnyUncle Johnny is originally from West Hartford, Connecticut. Don't hold that against him! Uncle Johnny has worked at many great radio stations in markets from Washington DC to Jackson, Mississippi to Tampa and Orlando, Florida. While working in Washington, Uncle Johnny visited the Shenandoah Valley on many occasions.

Along with wife Jeanne and their two Rottweilers, Dahlia and Neville, Uncle Johnny wanted to live and work in a little piece of paradise. WSIG came calling and it took the Uncle Johnny family about two seconds to start packing! Join Uncle Johnny weekday mornings from 5am to 10am, and Saturdays from 6am to 10am. WARNING! Listening to Uncle Johnny is addictive!

Each morning Uncle Johnny entertains listeners with features like:

. The High-low gas woes report at 7:40am help listeners find the cheapest gas in the Valley

. Brings you endless morning fun!

Start your morning off the right way with Uncle Johnny on WSIG every weekday morning from 5am-10am!

LES IRBY

Les IrbyBy far the most popular specialty music program in the market, Les Irby's Bluegrass Show is a true Valley original. A Shenandoah County native, Les has lived many places but his heart has always been in the Valley.

The Bluegrass bug was planted early when as a kid Les enjoyed watching Reno and Smiley on television. It also helped that the woman who babysat him loved Bluegrass and listened to it constantly.

But his love of Bluegrass really came in the seventies when he attended Bluegrass festivals for the party, but learned to appreciate the music. This where the things he respects most about the music came into focus: the music’s history, honesty, and real emotions.

Les has hosted The Bluegrass Show on WSIG for over 15 years. You can listen to the The Bluegrass Show Saturdays 3pm-9pm.

You can also catch Les Irby:
Nights: Mon-Fri 7pm-12mid
The Gospel Show: Sunday 8:30am-12noon

RACE ASHLYN

Race AshlynRace doesn’t just like Country music, he LOVES it…from the Classics of the 50s and 60s through today’s “traditional” sounding Country.  Race started working in radio at the age of 13 (which is probably why he has so much gray hair!) and loves living in the Valley having lived from Maine to Florida…Virginia is right in the middle and perfect!
