37 Years Hosting Mornings At WINC-FM With Barry Lee (Ep 19)


Listen Later

For 37 years, Barry Lee was the friendly voice waking up the Shenandoah Valley on WINC-FM.

On this episode, Barry looks back at how he started in radio, the story of crossing the street from 99.3 WFFV to 92.5 WINC, and what it was like replacing a legendary morning show at WINC.

Barry shares the challenges of being a new morning host, working with multiple co-hosts over the years, and the secret to surviving two owners, and multiple GMs, and PDs.

Barry also reflects on the major changes WINC underwent — from the Lewis family selling to Centennial to surviving the 2008 financial crisis and the pandemic.

He talks candidly about what it felt like watching the station get sold, moved, and reinvented, and why he ultimately decided to retire after 37 years.
