mvyradio: Laurel's decision; Jess on mornings

Laurel Redington is recovering from her car accident.  On Tuesday, she came on the air to talk about her future at mvyradio.

After 8 years, Laurel has officially decided to leave the morning slot.  She'll still work for MVY and will be producing many Community Related features.  She'll continue to do her Morning Toast.  And she'll be the "Station Voice," do the work of all our recorded underwriting.

Jess Phaneuf, who's been filling in on mornings, will move there permanently.

Congratulations to both of them, for all their good work.


Hear them talk on Youtube.

Story: Jess In The Gazette

Our friends at The Vineyard Gazette had a great story in last Friday's paper, profiling something that most Islanders know pretty well---living here means having more than one job.

Part of the article focused on mvyradio's Jess Phaneuf.  It's not enough that Jess does literally dozens of jobs within MVY (helping in promotions, music programming, social media and other areas), she also works at a furniture store, and is an independent concert promoter.
