River Rat Country is proud to bring some legendary talent back to Northwest Ohio broadcasting. Here's our line up of DJs.
Turn on River Rat Country every weekday for farm market reports from the Ohio Ag Net. Updates run at 10 minutes after the hour, every hour from 5 a.m. until 5:30 p.m.
Josh David spent 15 years in radio before leaving in 2016 to move back home. A Springfield High School graduate, Josh moved to what he calls his second home in Grand Rapids, Ohio. After working on a new career, Josh started missing radio but had no interest in going to work for the corporate suits who he says destroyed the radio industry. With "if you want it done right you gotta do it yourself" mantra, Josh launched Towpath Radio and then River Rat Country a year later. Both stations are operated out of his barn in Grand Rapids, Ohio with technology that allows all the DJs to do their shows from their private studios. A short time after launching River Rat Country both London and Cliff became available and teamed up with Josh to bring River Rat Country to the next level. Josh helps wake up Northwest Ohio every weekday from 6a until 10a with London Mitchell News, Lost Oldie Trivia at 8:05am, Farm Market Reports, NASCAR and racing news, plus a ton of REAL country music! Occasionally you can hear his staffy, Swanson, snoring as Josh does his show.
London Mitchell has been a staple in Northwest Ohio broadcasting for decades and now he can be heard on River Rat Country! Generations of listeners have woken up to London's fair and accurate newscasts and the tradition continues! London starts River Rat Country mornings off at 5am with top and bottom of the hour news, then reunites with Cliff Smithers at 10am to continue delivering the news through the morning. London also hosts a podcast called "Staying in Contact," which can be heard Friday mornings at 9am on River Rat Country, you can download it through your favorite podcast service, or listen at LondonMitchell.news.
Cliff Smithers is our resident professor of country music and brings his booming voice to Northwest Ohio listeners during the workday. Cliff has been all over the radio dial in Northwest Ohio from hosting nights, to afternoons, and hosting the number one morning show in Toledo. When it comes to music, Cliff LOVES his classic country and cranks it up for Northwest Ohio every weekday!
