WGRC Christian Radio

Larry Weidman, Founder and General Manager

Larry's vision for a contemporary Christian radio station in Central Pennsylvania grew out of his interest in radio as a young person and coming to understand how radio is an effective tool in communicating the Christian way of life. Larry is married to Janet who is the co-founder of WGRC, and they are the parents of three, and grandparents of four. Larry and Janet live in Lewisburg. Larry, in addition to being the general manager, hosts the morning show and is the primary host of the award-winning WGRC talk-show, "The Matter At Hand". Larry brings a unique perspective to radio having been raised on a dairy farm near Millville and spending fourteen years in the dairy and food processing industry. Larry's radio career began in 1966 at WPGM in Danville. He is a 1976 graduate of the University of South Carolina and worked as a news and public affairs director at WMHK in Columbia, South Carolina for four years, before returning to Central PA in 1980.

There, at WRTI, Don did play-by-play for women's basketball, covered pro sports, news, etc. He later got his professional start selling commercial air-time while doing some part-time announcing work in Central PA. Don started full-time doing news/sports with WGRC in March of 1998.  Today Don joins Larry in managing the day to day operations of WGRC. Don and his wife, Lora, adopted two children in March of 2000. Interests include bike riding, softball and basketball.

After spending her entire childhood playing with a tape recorder and "announcing" songs off her parents' records, Kristine pursued a degree in English/writing from Messiah College, figuring that "real people didn't do radio".  Thankfully, God had other plans!  After getting her start at Messiah's WVMM on the news & sports staff, Kristine spent over 14 years with the Word FM network in eastern Pennsylvania, working as Program Director, Music Director and afternoon announcer.  Today, she's excited for the opportunity to be a part of WGRC!  Off the mic, Kristine enjoys coaching softball (girls' high school and mens' church league), hanging out with the best cats in the world (Peanut & Moose), watching NASCAR and traveling to Alaska as often as possible.
