WEOL AM930 is happy to announce that Andy “Bull Barch will host the stations brand new afternoon program that will air weekdays from 3pm to 6pm starting February 23.

For the past few years, Lorain County residents have heard Andy during the summers as the “Voice of the Lake Erie Crushers.  Andy was also the Director of Sports Information at Notre Dame College in South Euclid.

The nickname, “Bull”, came from a former colleague who thought he resembled the character Bull Shannon from the TV show, “Night Court”.

Joining Andy in the Afternoons will be Matt Douglass.  For the past year and a half, Matt has been heard on the WEOL Morning Show, on high school football and basketball games, and has been actively involved with WEOL broadcasts at community festivals and live remotes.

WEOL Station Manager Tim Alcorn says, “We are thrilled to have Bull and Matt handle our brand new afternoon drive program. Plus, listeners will not only be able to hear their show on-air, but also on-line at weol.com and by downloading the free WEOL app”.
