Media One Group Promotes Staff

Andrew Hill

Shelley Whittaker

James T. Embrescia, founder and CEO of Media One Radio Group, has announced the appointment of two veteran employees to new positions with the local radio stations headquartered in Jamestown.

Andrew Hill, who has worked in local radio since 2000, has been named general manager of the six radio stations. Hill began his tenure with James Broadcasting’s WJTN/WWSE combo while still attending Maple Grove Jr.-Sr. High School. Hill then received his associates degree in communications and media arts from Jamestown Community College and has served as program director and operations manager since 2007.

Hill will oversee the general day-to-day programming, marketing, promotions, technical and community outreach operations of the stations as well as remain active on-air as co-host of the WKZA weekday morning show; “Times of Your Life” Saturday morning program on WJTN; and weekday afternoon personality on WWSE — a place where the familiar voice has been heard since 2001.

Hill resides in Falconer with his wife, Hope, son, Tyler, and daughter, Alivia. He is an active volunteer in the community, enjoys playing hockey and provides international voice over services through his website OurVoiceGuy.com.

Shelley Whittaker

Embrescia has also appointed Shelley Whittaker to the position of business manager of the local radio group.

Whittaker began her local radio career with WHUG/WKSN/WQFX in 2000 and was named traffic manager of all stations in 2005 when acquired by Media One Radio Group from Vox Allegheny Radio.

The graduate of Jamestown High School has also worked hand-in-hand with the accounting offices of the local radio group over her tenure and will handle the day-to-day business operations of the broadcast facility.

Whittaker resides in Jamestown with her husband, John, and two daughters, Sophie and Juliet.
