It came as a surprise last week to hear Val Townsend on Mix 96, doing the afternoon show from the Erie county fair with a co-host named Tony. I remember when Val worked for the Edge, then Oldies 104 during two or three different formats, including Oldies 104, Mix 104 and Classic Hits 104. She sounds as good on Mix 96 as she did on Mix 104, which played more 80s and 90s music when she was there. Mix 96 plays mostly current pop and Top 40 music. Does anybody know if she's the new afternoon DJ?
