As we approach our 70th Anniversary at 1230 WBVP and 1460 WMBA, Beaver County Radio presents a series of live interviews with past and present staff to recollect the great history and memorable moments on WBVP and WMBA.

Before taking the Pittsburgh morning market by storm for three decades, Jim Merkel had his radio start at WMBA in the mid-1970s. He returns to his roots on May 22 at 9:10 as he sits down with Frank Sparks to discuss the beginnings of his long and distinguished career.

“Radio Rewind” is brought to you by Ba’Runi Bar & Grille, the John Pournaras Agency, the Ambridge Italian Villa, Bowser Hyundai of Chippewa, McGee Heating & Cooling, and the Pennsylvania Hot Rod Company.
