On April 4, 2005, after an eight year absence, Hometown Talk Radio returned to its familiar surroundings; 9-11am Monday through Friday on Newstalk 1570 WPEP and picked up where it left off, with great advertising success and loyal listenership. On August 6, 2007, Hometown Talk Radio made a major move to WVBF 1530 AM which guaranteed that Hometown Talk will be able to continue to entertain and inform listeners in the Taunton/Middleboro areas for years to come. With more that twice the broadcast power of WPEP, Hometown Talks can now be reached by more listeners over a much wider geographic area.

Our Story

2019 saw the end of an era. Long time station manager, Tony Lopes announced his retirement. He would air his final episode of Hometown Talk News by the end of that year. At the same time, the Steve Callahan, owner of the radio station, entered into a deal with State Senator Marc Pacheco to become the new owner. Senator Pacheco formed MRP Communications and Consulting LLC and with FCC approval, completed the sale in December.

Now under new ownership and in a new location (14 Church Green), WVBF staff, hosts, advertisers and loyal listeners are looking forward to a new chapter in our community radio station.
