860 WNOV “The Voice” is proud to add to its line up a veteran of Milwaukee’s talk radio scene, Eric Von.
Von joins WNOV as the host of the station’s new morning drive show, The Eric Von Show, 7-9 am weekdays beginning Monday, April 6, 2015.
Station general manager, Sandra Robinson said, “We’re excited to have Eric Von join the line up.
He brings to progressive radio his own unique style that engages audiences in calm and rational tones.
Eric’s ability to raise awareness among listeners and keep them tuned in to those issues that are important in their lives is critical in a city where so many feel left out and ignored.”
Von joins the WNOV talk line up that currently boasts Sherwin Hughes (9am – noon weekdays), Rev. Al Sharpton (noon – 3:00).
Wednesday’s from 3-4pm it’s Jermaine Reed; Thursday’s 3-4pm Wanda Williams and Fridays, Rahim Islam.
“This is another wonderful opportunity to do something I love.
I thank Jerrel Jones, Sandra Robinson and the entire WNOV team for welcoming me so warmly.
We’re going to do some great things at WNOV. I’m excited.
We’ll address those issues that are important to the people of Milwaukee local and national politics, unemployment and underemployment, the Black male incarceration rate, inequity in contracting, and healthcare disparity, which is near and dear to my heart.
Police involved shootings and gun violence, in general, will also be issues we focus on the show.
There’s a lot to talk about and resolve.
We’ll do that daily on The Eric Von Show.”
Von is a veteran of thirty years in radio and a political commentator.
He is also the managing partner of VonCommunications, a public relations firm and the founder and publisher of Brain Brawn & Body, a health and wellness website committed to improving the health of African American men and their families.
