PEORIA, Ill. — Each year, Radio Inc. Magazine puts out its list of the industry’s best and brightest with the “30 Under 30” awards.
Making the list this year is 1470 & 100.3 WMBD’s Corey Wara.
Wara, Morning Show Producer of “The Greg and Dan Show”, said he was honored just to be nominated, let alone making the list.
“I think it’s really cool, especially seeing all the other young people in radio, in the entire radio community that was also chosen to be on there,” Wara said.
Wara, who’s produced “The Greg and Dan Show” for five years, said he’s excited about the future of the radio business.
“It’s the best place to go to get up-to-date information and news,” Wara said.
After studying film and marketing in college, Wara initially joined 1470 & 100.3 WMBD’s staff as a fill-in producer.
Wara said he’s proud of the work he’s doing each day, and that radio is not a dying medium.
“Radio is huge, and keeps growing. We’re all going to be driving cars, we’re all going to be communicating with each other, and radio, especially in local markets, is a great way to keep a community together,” Wara said.
1470 & 100.3 WMBD is part of Midwest Communications’ Peoria radio group.
