Dusty Rhodes (In Memoriam)


November 7, 1946 – May 20, 2020

A nearly life-long resident of the Shenandoah Valley, Dusty Rhodes was a household name! Dusty started his radio career in the Valley at WHBG-AM in 1966. After stints in Pennsylvania, DC, and Winchester, Dusty returned to the Valley in the late 1980’s.

WSIG welcomed Dusty to the family in 2012, and he remained with us until his retirement in January 2020.

Dusty passed peacefully at his Elkton home May 20, 2020, shortly after he said he was “ready to be with Jesus” and his beloved wife, Barbara, who predeceased him years earlier.
