Sonja Morrell Takes Middays at 106.9 The Fox Norfolk

Sonja Morrell

Hampton Roads Media Group has named longtime team member Sonja Morrell as midday host & content creator for Classic Rock WAFX (106.9 The Fox) in Norfolk-Virginia Beach, VA. Morrell succeeds Mike Arlo, who held the midday post until his passing in June following a brief illness.

A familiar voice to Hampton Roads listeners for three decades, Morrell began her career with the company in 1996 as midday host on sister WNOR, where she remained until 2009. She then joined the air staff at 106.9 The Fox, hosting a variety of shifts before settling into nights. In addition to her on-air duties, she serves as Marketing Director for Hampton Roads Media Group.

"No one can replace Arlo, but Sonja is uniquely qualified to continue the tradition he built," said Mike Beck, Director of Content for Hampton Roads Media Group. "She has been Arlo's backup for decades, and the listeners know her well. Sonja will honor Arlo's legacy while bringing her own talents and personality to middays. Arlo and Sonja were great friends and I'm sure he is giving two thumbs up for this move."
