WILLIAMSBURG — Local Voice announced Wednesday that All-News 102 will replace Bach FM beginning June 1.
The new format will be the historic district’s only all-news radio station powered by 10 journalists in the Southside, Hampton-Newport News region and Williamsburg.
The station’s morning and afternoon drive features the following: Around the Globe, Breakthroughs in Health Care, Newsmakers — an interview with influential newsmakers — and the Shipyard Report. All News also deliver in-depth coverage of business news and the latest sports, weather, and traffic reports.
All-News 102 is dedicated to featuring local and regional news from a wide variety of partners and sources, including its sister online newspapers — Southside Daily, Hampton Newport News Daily, and Williamsburg Yorktown Daily. The station also forged a partnership with WVEC, 13NewsNow, so it will be sharing content from and combining resources with them on special news initiatives.
All-News can be heard on 101.9 FM, 102.1 FM, 1490 AM in the Hampton Roads area, and now on 107.9 on the Peninsula.
