Veteran Broadcaster's Career Spans 50 Years at One Station

By Mark Scott

Chautauqua Institution, NY – There's only one radio announcer in the history of Western New York broadcasting who has spent more than 50 years at a single station. But unless you live in or have traveled through Jamestown, chances are you haven't heard his show. Jim Roselle hosts a morning talk show on WJTN Radio in Jamestown.

While WBFO spent a week at the Chautauqua Institution last week, Roselle spends the entire nine week season broadcasting from there. He hosts his show from Bestor Plaza weekdays from 8:30 till 12noon.
