Broadcaster Travis Nunn of Forsyth an Everyday Hero
By Steve Reece
stevereece@gmail.com
He’s a man who gets the
good word out. Travis Nunn,
the owner of the listener sup
ported radio station WBIB-
FM 89.1, delivers Chris
tian music, sermons and
inspiration 24 hours a day all
across Monroe County from
a tower high over Stuart Av
enue in Forsyth. He runs the
station with his wife, Jennifer
who he married in 1992.
Travis and Jennifer met
through a mutual friend
who worked at a con
venience store. One day
Jennifer went into the store
and asked the friend if he
knew anyone decent, she
could date. The clerk replied
that he was already taken but
he recommended his good
friend Travis. He wrote
her name and number on a
small grocery bag and gave
it to Travis the next time he
went into the store. Travis
still cherishes that bag over
31 years later.
They had two children, Ar-
eale and Haley. Areale, their
oldest daughter, designed the
station’s logo. Haley helped
with part-time production
work before she got into vid
eo. She now works for Third
Wave Digital in Macon.
Travis started his career
working as a stock clerk at
Piggly Wiggly in Milled-
geville when he was a junior
at Baldwin High School. He
later followed his dreams
and became a radio an

Travis Nunn
nouncer at Z97.7 in Milled-
geville from 1998-2000. He
then moved on to Q 106.3
in Macon until landing his
current day job at WDEN-
FM 99.1 after being hired
by Georgia Radio Hall of
Famer Laura Starling. When
Travis isn’t
atWDEN,
he’s busy
behind the
micro
phone at
WBIB.
The
station
features
sermons
from local
churches
such as
New Prov
idence
Baptist
Church,
Rock
Springs
Church
in Milner
and the
Dayspring
Presbyteri
an Church.
Travis says
the idea
is to give
people
samples
of local churches in our area
and they will know a church
is close by.
To Monroe County kids,
Travis says, “Dependability
is important. Ninety-eight
percent of success is showing
up. You need to be teachable.
Learn everything you can
learn in your held. Don’t
just settle for what you were
hired for. Learn about other
positions within your in
dustry. If you can adapt well,
you can continue to work in
that held if you’re willing to
learn all aspects of the job.
Because you never know
when something is going to
change. And believe me, it
will.”
