In 1982 he came to WTTR full-time as a mid-day announcer and since then has served in various capacities.

Mark Woodworth, News Director
 Mark's origins in broadcasting go back more than 35 years to college radio in California. After stints in Massachusetts and Virginia, Mark became well-known to Baltimore area listeners as a rock DJ on the FM dial in the 70s and 80s. With a short stop in Pennsylvania, he came to WTTR "just for fun!" for some weekend music programs. That was almost 18 years ago. Mark started news reporting and working on community affairs shows in 1993 and has since won more than 25 awards as a radio journalist.

Tom Burnett, Traffic Director
 Tom Burnett, currently WTTR's Traffic Director and overnight News Reporter, joined our family in the mid-1970s as the Sunday afternoon music host. Since that time Tom has done almost every job in the station at one time or another. His history in radio and television began in the fall of 1959 as part of the college experience at the University of Massachusetts. His time in New England is why Tom is one of the few people at the station who really celebrated the 2004 and 2007 World Series. Tom and his wife, Irene, are the parents of five married children. Their family has increased to include 12 grandchildren. Most evenings during the season, Tom can be found calling balls and strikes at any one of many local rec council baseball games.

Bruce Main, Afternoon Personality
If there is such a thing as "coming full circle," Bruce Main has done exactly that. Bruce lived in Westminster until the late '70s when he moved away to pursue his career. Bruce certainly wore a lot of hats in broadcasting, doing everything from engineering to front office work to on-air work, including a weekend stint on WTTR in the mid-'80s. Then Bruce became a traffic reporter on Radio One and CBS stations. In 2006, he found his way back home again to WTTR, becoming the afternoon host. He says, "It has been said 'You can't go home again,' but I'm staying and I can't think of a better place to be than home and WTTR." Bruce and his wife Terry live in Westminster.

John Pepsin, Account Executive, Sunday Show Host
John began his career as an account executive at WTTR in 2000, but has been on the air since 1985 as the host of "Communique," a Contemporary Christian Music show on Sunday mornings. After seeing the results of advertising his own successful business on WTTR for 25 years, John is on a mission to help other businesses achieve their goals through creative advertising campaigns. On occasion John can be heard sitting in as substitute host of The Morning Show weekdays on WTTR. He has been married to his wife, Diane, for 25 years and has been mistaken for one of the Blues Brothers when playing guitar and harmonica for his band, "The Full Gospel Boogie Band."

Betsy Santos, Part-time Announcer
 Betsy Santos came to WTTR in 1989. She started as a board operator and then became a part-time weekend announcer. She met her then future husband Mike at the station. In 1997, not long after they married, they started a family and Betsy left the station to be a full-time mom. In 2004 Betsy came back, picking up right where she left off. She now serves as board operator, part-time announcer, and news department fill-in, among other things. "I've always wanted to be a jack-of-all-trades, and in a small station like this, I am!" she says. Betsy enjoys being part of the Voice of Carroll County even more than she did the first time around. She feels, "We have a fantastic staff at the station. Most of us have been here for years, and we're like family. If the staff drastically changed, it wouldn't be nearly as much fun."
