Meet Me at the Diner - Interview with Joe Martin with Your CBD Store in Greenwood, SC


Who is Anne?


...Anne Eller was born a Yankee, but is a southerner at heart.
The owner of WCRS Radio in Greenwood, S.C., Anne hosts three of the station’s exceptional and diverse programs. The Lakelands’ No. 1-Rated Radio Show, "Meet Me at the Diner," is an award-winning interview program, and the "I Love Anne" Show is her enormously popular morning show. Anne also hosts the Saturday morning favorite, "Trash to Treasures along a Country Road," which, thanks to live streaming, is heard around the world. A welcome alternative to Saturday-morning shows, Anne brings listeners a locally produced, three-hour program from 9:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m., packed with classic country and blues and interesting facts about the artists. Occasionally, she is joined by guest stars, such as blues artist Roy Roberts and Grammy Award-winning producer and vocalist Steve Tyrell.

Anne has a warm and engaging interview style which provides the foundation for informative and in-depth interviews with community leaders and local, state and national elected officials. She is the recipient of three STAR Awards from the S.C. Broadcasters Association -- two for Radio Show of the Year and one for Commercial Production.

Anne came to broadcasting with a childhood interest in theater and 30-plus years as a successful entrepreneur and businesswoman. This experience has equipped her with the knowledge to be able to ask the tough questions, relate the impact of national issues to local communities and offer a different angle on topics as varied as politics, news of the day and music – and everything in between!

Although most interviews take place “live” in the studio, Anne also goes where the story is. She’s traveled to Washington, D.C., to conduct interviews from politicians’ offices and also has reported from the national GOP headquarters and the city’s well-known landmarks. She’s covered the National Republican Convention.

Her countless interviews have had a huge impact since Anne and her husband, the late Jeff Eller, purchased WLMA Radio in Greenwood in 2007 and became owners of WCRS in 2010. Her impressive list of interview subjects includes celebrities, sports stars, authors, the famous and the infamous. Anne herself appeared numerous times in the studios of nationally syndicated talk show host, Jim Bohannon, who in turn was a regular guest on WCRS before his retirement.

However, Anne is best known for the compassion she brings to the Greenwood community. Her advocacy has heightened the visibility for the missions of organizations such as Pathway House, the Humane Society of Greenwood, The Salvation Army, the Greenwood County Veterans Center and most recently Wreaths Across America. In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic led Anne to ask WCRS listeners to donate peanut butter for The Salvation Army. More than 4,000 pounds of peanut butter were collected for the Salvation Army, which also benefited in 2021 from her first Radiothon fundraiser and “Drive for Hope” toy campaign. When a COVID- induced shortage of workers impacted area businesses, Anne launched the first “On-Air Job Fair,” featured in Talkers magazine.

Today, WCRS Radio, broadcast on 98.5FM and 1450AM, is celebrating 81 years of service, and Anne is recognized as “The Voice of Greenwood.” For her advocacy and contributions to veterans, Anne was awarded the Distinguished Citizen Medal by the Daughters of the American Revolution. Greenwood County Council presented WCRS Radio with a proclamation for the station’s commitment to service in communications.

Some people say that once Anne started talking, she didn’t quit. Thank goodness for that! Her words are a powerful force – and voice – serving her listeners well! The “I Love Anne Show” and “Meet Me at the Diner” podcasts can be found on the WCRS website: www.wcrs1450am.net. Check in often to find out what Anne and her guests are saying!
