Sunny Meriwether Lands Radio Newswriting Gig

We got word the other day that one of the area’s most recognizable radio voices – Sunny Meriwether – landed a new job working in radio again, although not on the air. Meriwether is “stringing” for Metro Networks, a subsidiary of Westwood One Radio Network writing morning drive news summaries for the company’s Alabama and Arkansas affiliate stations.

In an email to Lincoln Parish News Online (LPNO), Meriwether wrote, “It’s great to be doing what I love to do again, even though it doesn’t entail any on-air work.” She noted that she can work from home, or anywhere else that has internet access.

She wrote that she will still work with Louisiana Road Trips magazine, a West Monroe publication that promotes people, places and events around the state.

Meriwether was formerly news director of KEDM 90.3 public radio in Monroe.
