About
Us
The
All New Mix 99.3
was born in July, 1999. Its purpose was to serve the listening
area with a full service radio station that reflected a positive
"Mix" of music along with local news, sports, and fun. Every
local community needs the kind of radio station that is in
a sense, "its mouthpiece." Hometown Radio feels that Mix 99.3
has become that kind of listening post that our community
can embrace.
The
"Get Up and Go Show" - Being a local native, Steve Hayes
returned to the Portsmouth area in 1999 to help build the
area's most listened to morning show. With an arsenal of humor,
upbeat music, local news, and sports, "The Get Up and Go Show"
will always plug the listeners into the mood or moment of
the day. According to Steve's philosophy, "I run my show as
if I were a listener too. If I ever get bored with it, I'm
sure the listeners would also. I simply try to pretend that
I'm in the car, or sitting around the breakfast table with
everybody else. By the way, would someone please pass the
salt?" "The Get Up and Go Show" can be heard 5 am until 10
am Monday through Friday and from 6 am until 10 am on Saturday
mornings.
Local
Sports - Mix 99.3 with our other two area stations have
become a benchmark of what live local sports coverage is all
about. Locally presented and community driven, our "five"
separate sport teams of announcers will often cover as many
games within a thirty hour window. Mornings it's Chuck Greenslate
who reflects the goings on of both the local and regional
sporting interests live starting at 6:30 am on The All New
MIX 99.3.
Local
News - When it comes to knowing the landscape of the area's
local news, Hometown Radio's stable of veterans know how to
present the story in a manner that gives you that immediate
sense of authority. From city council to the fastest breaking
overnight information, the Hometown Radio news team is plugged
into all the sources of authority and delivers what local
radio news is all about.
Music
and Demographics
The
All New Mix 99.3 was designed to be listened to for extended
period of time without hearing that same old song "over and
over" again. If it is a tune that someone who is 25 to 60
years of age cares about, you'll hear it on MIX.99.3. Vintage
songs of the pop music era are played alongside today's favorite
artists. You can still hear a great Beatles song and Taylor
Swift or Maroon Five with Carly Simon all designed to give
the station a fresh sound while never forgetting the great
classics from the past.
Advertising
Opportunities
Mix 99.3
also features many different features on the station that
are ripe for your personal advertising ownership. "The 90's
at Nine" begin the workday every Monday through Friday with
an hour of the best known songs that helped define a millennial
generation.
"The
Classic Café" is presented every Monday through Friday
from noon until 1 pm with a retro playback of all the great
oldies from the 60's through the 80's.
Saturday
night from 7 pm until midnight, it's the "Original Disco
Fever Dance Party" where pointy shoes and silk shirts
will always be in style along with the hottest dance music
of all time.
Sunday
afternoons are reserved for fun, sun, and "On the Beach"
with Charlie Brown featuring 3 hours of premium "Beach Music"
from the past five decades served up from 5pm until 8 pm.
Local
news and sportscasts can also be sponsored to support
your business as one of our hundreds of local Hometown Radio
family members.
While
the All New Mix 99.3 is a station built for the local
audience, it also supports a much larger presence. Audio streaming
from the station's web site give the outside listening area
a chance to still stay in touch with everything important
in their hometown by simply punching up wnxtradio.com. or
using the "Tune In" radio app on their smart phone. Hundreds
of Emails from around the world prove that even worldwide
when it comes to radio favor, there's no place like home.
