One voice in Charlottesville rises like a lighthouse beacon in the fog in protest of intrusive and wasteful government. One voice makes sense among all the progressive babbling. One voice stands strongly for the interests of local businesses and their employees. That one voice is Rob Schilling of WINA’s The Schilling Show.
As a rule, the various media are more than glad to accept hard earned dollars from their business and advertising sources, which support them, but the buck stops there. They take the money and run, letting the businesses fend for themselves. But not Rob Schilling. Rob makes it a point to thank his sponsors and even sets apart a special time for them to appear on his show and tell his many listeners what each of those businesses is all about. Rob puts his sponsors money where his mouth is, and he appreciates their business.
Rob Schilling, in fact, is one of the most respected and trusted names in the Charlottesville community. He is also a nationally recognized investigative journalist.
Rob and his wife, Joan, moved to Central Virginia from Southern California in 1998 seeking a more serene lifestyle. Shortly thereafter, Rob was elected to the Charlottesville City Council, the first and last Republican to have accomplished that feat since 1986.
In his four years of elected public service, Rob gained unique insight into the machinations of local government and politics. Rob’s informed viewpoint as an “outsider” who has served on the “inside” is unrivaled in Central Virginia media.
The Schilling Show is a venue for advocacy and change. While Rob takes strong stances on issues, all points of view are welcome, and Rob often hosts guests from divergent ends of the political and social spectrums.
The Schilling Show airs on weekdays from noon until 2 PM on WINA, 1070 AM. Make it a point to tune him in.
