WLBR AM 1270 News Director and Morning Show Host Laura LeBeau has been
promoted to Program Director of the heritage Lebanon, PA radio station and will take on a new role as
Director of News and Public Affairs for Seven Mountains Media-Pennsylvania. In this expanded position
she will lead Current Affairs programming and develop a weekly program that will air on all Seven
Mountains Media Pennsylvania frequencies.
Beginning her broadcasting career in January, 1987 at WUSL/Power 99fm in Philadelphia as a college intern, LeBeau soon moved into a variety of production and business office jobs, however her passion for news led her to radio markets spanning from the eastern seaboard to the midwest as she continued to hone her skills. She arrived in Lebanon, Pennsylvania in November, 2001 as a General Assignment Reporter and News Anchor for WLBR-AM and WQIC-FM (now WFYV-FM). Through the years, she added duties as a popular midday talk show host on WLBR-AM and morning news anchor for both the AM & FM stations.
“I am excited to take on this new role within Seven Mountains Media. There are many issues of great concern to Pennsylvanians. I look forward to bringing them into the spotlight with open, objective and honest discussions,” LeBeau said.
“We are thrilled that Laura’s contributions will be enjoyed across 7MM’s vast Pennsylvania network of over 100 signals with our new statewide news and public affairs show “ Commonwealth Beat.” In Lebanon, WLBR will be in good hands with Laura as our Program Director. It was evident that she was a talented broadcaster when we worked together at Power 99/ Philly back in the 80’s, so I am delighted to be again working with her. Seven Mountains Media envisioned this statewide role for Laura when we acquired the Lebanon stations from Forever Media on January first. “Seven Mountains Media’s Commonwealth Beat with Laura LeBeau” will fill a real need across the state . We can’t wait to hear what Laura creates!” COO/ Jim Loftus Seven Mountains Media.
