Welcome to the Official Paul Varga Home Page.
I appreciate your visit, please feel free to browse.

In the past 4 years each week there has been the challenge to inform, entertain and most of all, to bring the communities I serve together. Starting off early in my college career at SUNY Oswego, I was granted the chance to anchor the News on WTOP 10 Oswego. This is where I learned how to write stories and cover a community that was diverse and in need of attention. Transferring to Curry College, in Milton Massachusetts, I took along the local values I learned with WTOP and applied them to 91.5 WMLN where for the past three years I have been serving the community of Milton and beyond which reaches the estimated 200,000+ ears of the South Shore. While serving in varying management roles in the News department, I have had the privilege of covering both the 2006 gubernatorial election and the historic 2008 presidential election. This allowed me to realize how much the news on 91.5 WMLN and my own radio talk show impacted community.  

Debuting in the Spring of 2007, my own radio show “Hey You Talking to Me”, has challenged the world in and around Curry bringing national news local and controversial issues to the front burner. Currently I am looking to bring that same format, passion and local commitment to the airwaves of another radio station. If you are a representative of such a station please contact me as I would enjoy speaking with you. If you are a listener please continue browsing and feel free to drop me a line on any issue you want to bring to my attention.
