Meet Board Member Bill Spizzirri

Bill Spizzirri and his wife Rachel along with their trusted and sassy rat terrier Nuka, moved to Staunton in May 2026, trading the coral vibe and sea level living of the Florida Keys for the majestic Allegheny and Blue Ridge views. They fell in love with the diversity, weather, mountains, downtown vibe, and of course WQSV! Bill, like others flipped thru the car radio to find local music and news, found 106.3 and said, “Whoa, what is this?” Being neighbors with DJ Big Pappy Turtleneck led to an introduction to GM Rick Sheeley and here we are today!

Bill was born and raised in Chicago and grew up with the pioneers of terrestrial radio. WLS and WCFL were his transistor radio companions. After many decades in various roles in Corporate America, Bill’s passion to be involved in local radio came to fruition. Bill has commented “WQSV is a diamond in the Valley and shines brightly in the murky business of corporate terrestrial radio.”
