Radio Personality Passes Away
Morgantown, WV

Long-time West Virginia Radio Corporation personality Loray Robinson has died.

Robinson, 53, was a fixture on the radio in Morgantown and Clarksburg for years as “Midday Loray.”

The Morgantown native began her career in broadcasting as a news intern with WAJR. When WVAQ went on the air in 1981, Robinson was hired for the 10a-3p shift where she stayed for more than 20 years.

As her popularity increased, Robinson was frequently requested for remote broadcasts. She also deejayed hundreds of events, including dances, parties and weddings.

Known for her melodic voice and infectious personality, Robinson established herself as one of the premiere radio talents in West Virginia.

Later in her career, she transferred to WWLW, Magic 106.5, in Clarksburg, also a West Virginia Radio Corporation station, where she continued in the midday spot.

WVRC President Dale Miller said the company has lost a “family member.”

“Her smile and laugh were contagious,” Miller said. “She was a valued friend to thousands of listeners every day for more than 30 years. She will be missed by all.”

WVAQ program director Lacy Neff worked with Robinson for years and remembered her as a special talent.

“She was like a ray of light,” Neff said, “always positive and professional. She had a genuine interest in people. She would do anything she could to brighten your day.”

Robinson passed away at her home near Morgantown Tuesday.

Very sad. I grew up listening to her on WVAQ.
