Christy Dixon
Christy Dixon has been WCHL’s Station Manager since the radio station
came back to Chapel Hill in 2002. Like many, Christy found her way to
Chapel Hill to attend UNC and loved it here so much that she never
left. As Station Manager her duties are manifold and her job
description is lengthy! It is Christy’s job to listen to the community
and work to put that feedback into action. Please let her know if there
is anything you need, anything you want to know, or any praise or
complaint you want to voice about WCHL. Outside of the radio station,
Christy is a nature lover and enjoys hiking in the woods with her dogs
and cuddling up to her feline roommates. All of them are Tar Heel fans
through and through. Go Heels!
Aubrey Fox
Aubrey Fox has been a part of the WCHL sales team since 2003.
Originally from Washington DC, Aubrey prefers the slower pace and
friendly atmosphere of her home in Chapel Hill. "I feel very lucky to
have a job that allows me to interact with the business owners of
Chapel Hill and Carrboro. What a wonderful place to live and work!"
When she isn't selling advertising for Chapel Hill-Carrboro's News Talk
and Tar Heels station, she enjoys spending time with her fiancé,
friends and family. She also loves hiking in the woods with her dog and
her weekly Pilates classes.
Elizabeth Friend
Elizabeth Friend joined the WCHL team as a news reporter in the fall of
2008. Since returning to Orange County in 2000, she has written about
everything from the theater scene in downtown Durham to the lifestyles
of dairy farmers in Chatham county. A night owl and inveterate reader,
Elizabeth is well-suited to the late hours and long documents that come
with covering local government. From the Hillsborough court house to
Chapel Hill's Council Chambers, she's out there keeping tabs on what's
going on in our community.
In her spare time Elizabeth likes to cook, garden, read contemporary
fiction and pander to her dogs. She's always eager to learn more about
local food, environmental sustainability, and new media.
If you know of issues affecting our community that are not being
addressed, or if you just want to chat about the latest tempest at Town
Hall, contact Elizabeth at efriend@1360wchl.com.
Matt Livingston
Matt Livingston joined the WCHL team in June of 2010. Prior to joining WCHL, Matt worked at the Carolina Club on UNC’s campus for over 9 years, most recently serving as the club’s Director of Membership. Originally from Bryson City, NC, Matt has called Chapel Hill home since 1998 when he enrolled at UNC-Chapel Hill. He graduated in 2002 with a B.S. in Biology with a minor in Chemistry and is currently pursuing his M.B.A. through East Carolina University. Matt currently shares his life and home with his fiancé who is a teacher in Durham Public Schools.

John Stillman
Upon realizing the error of his ways, Stillman is back at WCHL after a ten-month hiatus.
After spending several months as a news/sports reporter, he moved to
Fayetteville where he spent almost a year with ESPN Radio 1450 as a
producer and sales associate. Having endured being away from Chapel
Hill for as long as is humanly possible, he returns to WCHL as an
account executive.
As WCHL’s token Republican, Stillman enjoys Carolina football, the
Atlanta Braves, Toby Keith, Brad Paisley, and the philosophy of the Old
West. His dislikes include Coach K and hippies.
He graduated from Carolina in May ’06 and lives in Chapel Hill.
Ron Stutts
To scores of Chapel Hillians, Ron Stutts is as essential to their
morning routines as a cup of coffee. For a quarter century, Ron has
awakened our community with interesting conversations, fascinating
guests and a familiar voice. On Ron's show there's always sophisticated
local humor and an occasional - but affectionate - jab at a public
official.
He's sometimes irreverant, but never goes too far. If you want to know what's happening in our community, Ron's your guy!
Anthony "Tony Terrell" Wellman
Anthony "Tony Terrell" Wellman relocated to Chapel Hill in March 2009
as a native of Winston-Salem, North Carolina. He attended Full Sail
University in Orlando, Florida and completed the Recording Arts program

strong work ethic and desire to succeed to the WCHL Family. Along with
his girlfriend Alicia accompanying him in Chapel Hill, Anthony aspires
