Former WBVP General Manager, Bill Baldwin, passed away on Monday, August 29 after reportedly struggling with cancer for many years. Bill was brought to Beaver Falls by then station owner, Hall Communications, from New Bedford, Massachusetts, to oversee WBVP and sister FM station, WWKS around 1979. During Baldwin’s tenure, the stations moved from the basement of a bank building at 1400 7th avenue, to the current office and studio location at 1316 7th Avenue in Beaver Falls. In recent years, Baldwin served as an Executive Vice President with Hall Communications and worked on site as a general manager at one of the Hall properties, WLPA in Lancaster. Hall Communications bought WBVP and WWKS in the early seventies from Beaver Valley Broadcasting and sold the pair of stations in 1985 to M.T. Communications, a local company from Hopewell operated by Ted and Marilee Ruscitti.
