In addition, he also served as development director for WKSU for 17 years.<\/p>\n<p>During his time at WKSU, Bartholet expanded the station\u2019s news coverage with the opening of bureaus in Cleveland, Akron and Canton; established <em>Folk Alley<\/em>, an internet folk music radio station with a large worldwide audience; and successfully completed capital and endowment campaigns that generated $6 million for WKSU.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWMRA and WEMC have a wonderful opportunity to build on past successes and to take advantage of our country\u2019s thirst for information as well as for music that is an oasis for listeners,\u201d said Bartholet. \u201cWhen it comes to new ways to serve our audiences, there appears to be no end in sight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>WMRA and its network of stations serve 50,000 listeners in the Shenandoah Valley, Charlottesville, surrounding western Piedmont counties and the Farmville area. It is licensed to James Madison University. Flagship programs include:<em> Morning Edition, All Things Considered, Fresh Air, Marketplace, Car Talk, A Prairie Home Companion, This American Life, Virginia Insight<\/em> and <em>Wait Wait\u2026Don\u2019t Tell Me<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>WEMC is the first public radio station in Virginia, on air since 1955. The station serves 8,000 listeners in the central Shenandoah Valley. It is licensed to Eastern Mennonite University and is operated by WMRA. It produces a weekly program focused on Mennonite musical heritage, <em>Mostly Mennonite, Mostly Acapella<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Public radio stations WMRA and WEMC have named Allen Bartholet as the new executive director and general manager effective July 1, 2013. &#8220;Allen was selected because of his years of <a href=\"https:\/\/emu.edu\/now\/news\/2013\/bartholet-named-executive-director-for-wmrawemc-public-radio\/\" target=\"_self\" class=\"more-link\">... read more <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">about Bartholet Named Executive Director for WMRA\/WEMC Public Radio<\/span><\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"author":112,"featured_media":17523,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5583],"tags":[10315,6364,15007],"feature":[],"class_list":["post-17521","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-campus-community","tag-tom-duval","tag-wemc","tag-wmra"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.6 -
