TROY — Classical music radio station WMHT-FM has added a new host/producer to its lineup: Charlotte Evelyn Wilson.
Wilson previously worked at Radio New Zealand, where, according to WMHT, she managed a nationwide campaign protesting the government’s decision to “axe” the country’s only classical music station. The campaign resulted in an apology from New Zealand’s deputy prime minister, and the station stayed on the air. Wilson was also a public radio host at KBAQ classical radio in Phoenix, AZ and at NPR member station WUOT in Knoxville, TN.
“I am gratified to be joining the team at Classical WMHT-FM,” Wilson said in a statement. “I am a music and art fiend who fell in love with the diversity, opportunity, culture and friendliness of the US, and can’t wait to connect with our audience.”
Wilson began her hosting duties on Tuesday, and can be heard on WMHT-FM from 4 to 8 p.m. Monday-Friday, and from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturdays.
