WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. – Talk WilliamsportRadio Williamsport has agreed to a multi-media partnership with NorthCentralPA.com.

Part of the agreement calls for hourly news updates on Williamsport Talk WilliamsportRadio affiliates 1050 AM, 92.7 and 104.1 FM, and in Jersey Shore on 1600 AM powered by NorthCentralPA.com.

Mutual logos and links on each parties website are also part of the agreement.

“In watching Kathy develop NorthCentralPA.com over the past several years it became very apparent this agreement would be a good fit for both of our organizations.” According to Talk Williamsport General Manager Todd Bartley.

NorthcentralPa.com, a regional online newspaper, was launched in September, 2009. Based in Williamsport, Pa., serves Lycoming and surrounding Counties. Real time news reporting on Facebook was introduced in the Summer of 2013.

“I was concerned about the nationwide decrease in newspaper subscribers and a decline in radio news department sizes. A healthy Democracy needs informed citizens. A vibrant community means having well informed people.”, states Kathy Kolb. publisher and owner of NorthcentralPa.com and Kolb Net Works, a Web Site Development firm.

NorthcentralPa.com is funded by Kolb Net Works and advertisers.

“I’m pleased to have an even greater distribution of area news through the Talk Williamsport radio outlets.”, said Kolb.

Kolb was recently chosen as one of the area’s top 100 business people by PA Business Central.
