WDEV Radio Vermont Group recently made announcements about two longtime staff members.
Station General Manager Steve "Corm" Cormier will be honored as an inductee to the Vermont Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame in December. And earlier this week, longtime staffer Kia Winchell was promoted to co-host of the Morning News Service on WDEV.
The broadcasters group recently named Cormier among those it will honor at its annual dinner in Burlington on Dec. 4. Other Hall of Fame inductees are NBC5-TV Anchor Stephanie Gorin, WCAX-TV Chief Photographer Shelly Holt-Allen and Bruce & Hobbes, WVTK’s human/canine Morning Show Team.
Cormier was chosen as a veteran Vermont broadcaster with a nearly 40-year career (a.k.a. “Corm”) on-air and in management at radio stations across the state. Cormier has been program director, sales manager, and is now general manager at Radio Vermont Group.
A WDEV veteran since 1980, Winchell has worked as the radio group's traffic director and the voice of the Party Calendar community events segment and the Saturday Trading Post. “Kia is a vital part of WDEV. During her tenure here she has gained the support and trust of listeners," said station owner Ken Squier in announcing her move to the morning slot.
The Morning News Service now with Winchell and Lee Kittell airs weekdays, 6-9 a.m., on WDEV AM and FM and online at wdevradio.com.
