Jonathan Krawchuk
Station Mananger
Jonathan is a 1996 graduate of Culpeper County High School. He attended George Mason University and majored in Communications with a specialization in Mass Media. After numerous internships at TV and Radio Stations, Jonathan finally settled in Radio at WKCW in Warrenton. In 2001, Jonathan made the move back to C-103 in Culpeper where he hosted the morning show for 3 years.
After Stan Karas volunteered to relieve the vacancy at Channel 21 in mid 2002, Jonathan began working as a freelance videographer. The lure of community television was too great, and he began as a full time Technical Director in 2004. After the passing of Stan Karas in May of 2007, another vacancy had to be filled. Along with other applicants, Jonathan applied to take over as Station Manager at Channel 21. In October of 2007, the Culpeper Cable Commission made the decision to make Jonathan Krawchuk the new Station Manager at Channel 21.
Nick Morris
Technical Director
Nick Morris grew up in Culpeper, Virginia, until the 4th grade before heading down route 29 to Madison County, where he graduated from Madison County High School in 2010. He went on to attend Liberty University, earning a degree in Communications with a specialization in Broadcasting in 2014. Following his passion for media, Nick has spent the last 10 years working at CBS19 in Charlottesville, where he worked countless positions but spent most of his time in the director’s chair.
Outside of his professional life, Nick is an avid fan of video games, especially college football, and has a deep love for all sports. When he puts down his PlayStation controller it’s normally to pick up a fishing pole. And when he’s not reeling in small-mouth bass on the Rapidan River and you can find him down on the OBX trying to hunt down the elusive bull drum.
