He also has a relentless desire to be involved in his community and to make a real difference in people’s quality of life, something that sets WIVK apart. Joey is the full package.” Tack remarked: “I couldn’t be more excited to return home to East Tennessee to join the legendary WIVK and create great Country radio for WIVK’s passionate morning audience.
