WDEV this week announced three recent hires – two on-air hosts and a new member to the sales staff. 

General Manager Steve Cormier said George Thomas has joined WDEV as host of “Jazz with George Thomas” airing weekday evenings from 7 to 9 p.m. Thomas is a familiar name on the Vermont jazz scene, having hosted a jazz program on VPR for over a decade.

“We are thrilled to have someone of George’s caliber hosting our long-running evening jazz program. We think our listeners will be impressed with his knowledge and passion,” Cormier said in the announcement. 

Ashley Eberly joins the Radio Vermont Group as an account executive filling the position vacated by Diane Palmer who held it for 27 years. “Ashley’s initiative and proven sales abilities make her a great addition to the Radio Vermont Group sales team,” said Cormier.    

Saturday morning listeners may recognize the voice Greg Titus who previously worked as Sports Director for WDEV in the 1980s and has occasionally called high school basketball games off and on for decades.

"WDEV is like a home to so many current and former employees, we are happy to have Greg back in a more consistent role,” Cormier said.

Based in Waterbury, WDEV can be heard at AM 550 and FM 91.1, 96.5, 98.3, 101.9,and streaming at wdevradio.com.
