Another chapter in the long history of WRCO News will open on Monday. As many of you know, long time news reporter, Jo Ann Krulatz, retired from full time employment 2 weeks ago.

You know his name and probably his face

Jo Ann will still be covering an occasional meeting or event, however, today we are happy to report that former Richland Center Mayor, Todd Coppernoll, will be heading up our news department.

Todd talks about what it means to be at WRCO

Earlier this week, Phil Nee asked Todd about taking over this important part of WRCO’s service to the community.

Past, Past, Present

Earlier in April, the staff (present and past) of WRCO held a “goodbye” gathering in honor of Jo Ann Krulatz’s retirement.

We took this time to commemorate the transition by snapping a picture of our future (now present) news department, along with a couple of past news employees.

Please welcome Todd Coppernoll to the team and send thanks to Jo Ann Krulatz and Aaron Joyce for their past contributions that helped build the WRCO FM news department into what it is today.
