10 Questions with ... Rob RuthenbergBRIEF CAREER SYNOPSIS:
Started out as a stand-up comic; after a couple of years on the road and hanging out as a third wheel on a local morning show, I was offered a full-time gig. Ten years later I went into television as an on-air talent and producer, then later became Ops Manager. Worked as a freelancer for a few years then ran an AV Dept for a conference center. I got back into radio five years ago.
1. How did you become interested in radio?
It always seemed like a lot of fun.
2. Tell us about the unique musical mix of WVMP.
It’s pretty wide. Our programing was a collaborative effort for quite some time. We are very self-aware of our geography. Being in the mountains of Virginia, we are able to showcase music of the region without hitting you over the head with it. While we wish to be stewards of that heritage, we also know that we are in the entertainment business.
