Jon Demaster
Anchor Teammate
Father to 4 beautiful children, a midwest native, and lover of news. Jon grew up on a 150 year old dairy farm along the shores of Lake Michigan in Wisconsin (we love our Packers, and our Cheese).
He also grew up with a microphone on the desk in his bedroom, the brown Fischer Price Tape Deck (you know, the one with the handle), a camcorder on his shoulder, and never stopped talking. In 2001, while installing telephone systems at a radio station, he saw the afternoon DJ interacting with listeners on the local top 40 station and asked the Program Director if he could try it.
After getting a chance at the coveted "weekend overnight" shift, Jon moved to middays on the heritage Hot AC station in the market. After a few years of "talking for 10 seconds between songs" he says he got hungry for more, and asked the news director if he could help him on the weekends. From there, the news just kept getting better and better, working with some amazing people along the way!

Adam has two radio “loves” – News and Rock – and he’s been doing both of them for more than 25 years. He started his news career at the legendary WHAM in Rochester, NY, while continuing to do rock and talk shows at his college station. He then moved “west” to Buffalo to rock WEDG and host Loud!, the Citadel Network’s new rock show. After relocating to Raleigh to become rock outfit WBBB’s Night DJ/Assistant Program Director, he went across the street to anchor news for iHeartmedia’s North Carolina stations and host afternoon drive on Raleigh’s heritage rocker, WRDU.

Morgan McCarthy
Anchor Teammate
Morgan is pretty lucky. She’ll admit that right away.
She gets to do what she loves every day and it somehow counts as “work!”
But she also works hard to earn the right to keep doing that every day.
Morgan didn’t grow up wanting to be on the radio. The path was about as tangled as the cord on a pair of discarded headphones. The short version of a long story is that she grew up in the country and rolling hills of America’s DairyLand, *hit Fast Forward*
From Wisconsin, she flew the nest to Boston, MA and absorbed all the education and brownstone architecture that she could while attending Emerson College. Now, after some more miles down the scenic route (literally-including a roadtrip around the lower 48 states), she has returned to Wisconsin and is using her voice and Bachelor of Science in Speech degree every day on the airwaves of the Midwest Family radio stations in Eau Claire.
Live, local radio is a passion for her in the role as News Director at the 715 Newsroom where she is committed to being a source of “News Done Differently.” Here as part of the team at Remote News Service, Morgan extends her passion for broadcasting in an anchor role for various stations around the country, as well. That's on-mic.
Off mic, it's family as a lifestyle, books as a pastime, nature as therapy, beer as a hobby, dogs as best friends....oh, and a little bit of adventure-and luck-along the way.
Thanks for listening.
