WJTN's Dennis Webster

Dennis Webster signed off on the radio this a.m. August 2, 2024 to the sadness of many WJTN listeners through the years and before him, his father Doc Webster who was on the same radio station from 1951 to 1972 along with the late Jim (what's in your wallet?) Roselle.  As many of you know, Jim was an avid reader and would always have his library card in his wallet.  He was "Jamestown's cheerleader"!

Dennis is a Jamestown native and a graduate of Syracuse University and SUNY Fredonia.  He started his work in radio while still a student at Jamestown High School and has had many positions at WJTN, both on and off the air.

For the past couple of decades, he has presented the morning program on WJTN from 5 to 9 AM and hosted the Saturday Breakfast Party and the High School Bowl. Dennis has a wide variety of community interests and regularly presented stories on everything from farmers' crops to the events at the Robert H. Jackson Center.  Some of his favorite activites to cover involved theater, Jamestown High School Music and Chautauqua County 4-H.

Through his many years of work, Dennis has cultivated a keen sense of Jamestown as a community and the media's important role in it. Dennis is truly a gem for all of us living in Chautauqua County.  He is a great example of the true meaning of volunteering.  He never uses the word 'I' when talking about his volunteer and community activities.  It is always 'we' because he understands that making a difference in the community takes many hands working together. 

Thank you Dennis for all you have given to the community, both on and off the air.
