A Life In Rock
Thurs 8-10pm EST; Sun 8-10pm EST
A Life In Rock started on WOVV in September 2015 after I had made many visits to the island…After decades spent as a performer, in Australia primarily, the premise of my radio show is to feature a good deal of Aussie classic rock most of which is unknown to American audiences. That, combined with across the board International classic hits, album tracks and “B” sides makes up A Life In Rock which emanates from my home studio in Pittsburgh as well as a number of live shows from the WOVV studio mostly duetting verbally with Tommy Hutcherson, well known WOVV stablemate!!!

Island Morning Mix
Tues 8-10am EST; Sat 8-10am EST
“Eclectic as Always” – “The music of the BETTER part of the Twentieth Century” – “The Hits from the Twenties through the Nineties” … familiar phrases that I use during my WOVV spot, “Island Morning Mix,”. I’m one of the veterans here at WOVV and a hopeless Yankee from the Philadelphia area. Yet, I spend about 3 months of each year in Ocracoke. Tune in to see what’s up on Tuesday and Saturday mornings…I think you will be hooked!
John Simpson
Classic Cuts & Such
Tues 2-4pm EST; Sat 6-8pm EST
Greetings and welcome to WOVV Radio. As an on air personality-Carolina John- broadcasting each Saturday from 6-8pm with a rebroadcast of that show Tuesday 2-4pm. I play a variety of music from swing to modern, with rock from the 70’s and 80’s. Growing up on Ocracoke, I was a southern rock fan, but enjoyed all styles of music, especially live music. I have been broadcasting my shows since September 2013. This past year I became a WOVV board member. I encourage you to get “Tuned in and Turned On” and enjoy the shows.
LeAnne Astin
Sound Crossings
Wed 8-10pm EST; Sat 3-5pm EST
Every week, LeAnne Astin and her husband/producer Ted choose a show theme based on what’s happening on the island or around the OBX, then put together a playlist of amazing and rarely heard music based on the theme. From rock to reggae, psychedelia to psychobilly, funk to folk, swing to soul, blues to bluegrass, gospel to glam…show tunes, kids music, parodies and novelties, too…almost anything is on the table. They also throw in musical history, fun facts, and more than a few bad puns. It all adds up to a sometimes cool, sometimes strange, but always interesting and eclectic mix.

Down Creek Blues
Sat 9-10pm EST; Sun 6-7pm EST
Down Creek Blues has been a staple of the WOVV program mix since early 2011. I play a wide mix of the old-time blues performers, the well-known greats, and the up-and-coming blues artists of today. Sometimes I sneak in a little jazz as well! You’re also likely to hear me show up in the studio at other random times to play a wide mix of what I like, particularly old rock & roll. Keep listening!!!

I served on the board of directors in 2014 & 2015, Co-Chaired the board in 2016 and now I’m Chairman of the Board for 2017.
