WNFR/Sanduskey (Hope FM) announce Justin McBurney will be joining the on air team, hosting Evenings with Justin, starting July 28th.
“The entire team and I are thrilled to have Justin join our on-air team. He brings the creativity, depth, and local connection we’ve been looking for — the missing piece to serve our listeners even better,” says Brett Hager, WNFR PD.
Justin, who has been a part of the Hope FM Team for 2 years will continue his role with content creation on social media and other digital platforms.
Justin had this to say regarding his new role, “It’s been an honor to be part of the Hope FM team these past couple years, and stepping into the on-air role makes it even more meaningful. I’m especially looking forward to evenings, that time when the world slows down but the mind doesn’t. I’m excited to be a voice of encouragement, perspective, and unsolicited deep thoughts no one asked for, along with an honest play-by-play of life with my wife and two toddlers who keep me humble. My hope is that this space brings a little more light, a little more perspective, and a steady reminder that God is still moving in every story.”
