Matt Kelly
WVU STUDENT MEDIA ALUMNI COMMITTEE MEMBER
Matt Kelly is currently the Operations Manager of WVRC Media, as well as Program Director & On Air Radio Personality on 102 WVAQ in Morgantown, WV.
Matt graduated from West Virginia University in 2010, with a Bachelor’s degree in Broadcast Media.
Matt had many roles at U92 FM during his time at the station from 2006 to 2010, ranging from on-air DJ to Productions Director, and everything in between.
In his junior year, Matt interned with iHeart Radio Pittsburgh under fellow U92 alum Brian Price, learning the ins and outs of creative imaging, commercial production, and the general day-to-day operation of commercial radio stations.
Shortly after graduating in 2010, Matt began working part-time at WVRC Media and 102 WVAQ.
What started as a part-time position quickly blossomed to a full-time job working in radio imaging and production, followed by his first full-time on-air position on 97.9 WKKW, before moving back to 102 WVAQ years later.
“I was so fortunate to land a position with a local broadcasting company like WVRC Media. Throughout my time here, I have continued to learn, adapt, and take on new challenges as they come. With that, I have been able to really carve out a great role with this company. I really do enjoy what I get to do every day! Now, I look forward to teaching others about what radio can be today, and how we, as journalists, can continue to serve our communities in this fun profession.”
