Traffic Reporter Veteran Launches National News Team

BRADENTON, FL (June 6, 2013) – Chuck Whitaker, a traffic reporter for SNN 6 and a rarity in the media world, is proud to announce his latest venture, the National News Team. The National News is partnering with Whitakers exclusive Traffic Team to provide national real-time traffic, news, weather, sports and technology content.

Currently, The National News Team serves to over 1.7 million listeners and growing. Nearly 50% of audience members are between 25 and 54, a key demographic typically lost in the shuffle of major urban advertising.

“I became enamored with this business growing up in the Baltimore and Washington, D.C. area and once I got my shot, I’ve never looked back,” Whitaker said. “I enjoy and appreciate the privilege to play a part in daily life of so many people.”

The Nation News and Traffic Team maintains a local presence and relationships with police, fire and emergency responder personnel for each market it serves. Chuck and his handpicked team of broadcasters entrench themselves in the communities they’re privileged to serve, by providing great business content and connections, driving community service efforts and serving as a Central Beacon of news, traffic and weather updates for nearly 2 million listeners every day.

“The National News and Traffic Team serves as ground zero in communities that mid-to-medium and major markets tend to under serve,” Whitaker said. “We help unify the regular folks, the working day Americans by helping them navigate the ever changing traffic patterns, weather conditions and those natural and unnatural occurrences that can affect us all.”

The National News and Traffic Team continues to grow hiring experienced local broadcasters, producers and content providers from all across the nation to provide your station with a larger news footprint.

“I’m happy to say our team is the best in the business and most importantly we have fun doing what we do bringing unmatched credibility to this important task every day.”
