Shepherdstown, West Virginia – 89.7 WSHC is excited to enter into a new chapter in Knutti Hall with the appointment of a new Chief Operating Officer. Shepherd University alumna and former WSHC Operations Director Jenna Taylor-Tennant has been named to the role, effective July 1, 2025. She will succeed Mike Hurst, who is stepping away from the station to pursue external opportunities.
Taylor-Tennant brings four years of radio experience to the position, having started at WSHC as a student. She continued her radio journey with award-winning WVRC Media stations: WDZN, WDYK, WKLP, WCMD, WQZK, and WDYK in Cumberland, and WLTF in Martinsburg. After graduating from Shepherd University in 2024, she returned to assist Dr. Kevin Williams with the Radio Practicum course and continued contributing to WSHC’s mission.
“I’m looking forward to student involvement growing as we reach out to our fellow Rams and our community members,” Taylor-Tennant said. “I am very fortunate to have a passionate team of students working hard to improve the station and bring WSHC to a new generation.”
