Joseph Stickles has joined the Triple A MVYRADIO (WMVY/Martha’s Vineyard) On Air and Production staff. In a newly created position, Stickles will appear on the station’s airwaves delivering morning newscasts, and will work behind the scenes on a host of production, promotion, music and writing projects.
“This newly created position was designed to pull a few tasks off the To Do lists of our sometimes overburdened full time staffers like Amy Vanneman, Laurel Redington and Bill Narkiewicz,” said PJ Finn, Executive Director at Friends of MVYRADIO. “Joe’s motivation, broad range of talent, and multi-tasking skills impressed us. He was the right fit for this position.”
“Joining MVYRADIO is an amazing opportunity for me, especially right out of college. I’m excited to learn more about the island and work side-by-side with the MVY staff,” said Stickles, adding, “I look forward to bringing my radio experience from Connecticut to serve MVYRADIO listeners.”
Stickles graduated in Spring 2019 from the University of Connecticut with a double major in Journalism and Communications. He did play-by-play and color commentary work on WHUS for college baseball, basketball, soccer and softball, and engineered broadcasts and produced post-game highlight clips for Hartford Yard Goats games on WPOP.
