A note from Patrick Austin, Director of Digital Media for Cumulus Providence…

Over the last 5 years, 630WPRO.COM has grown into an award winning portal for local and national news, opinion and breaking coverage of major events.

Our team has won the award for "Best News Website" three of the last four years from the Associated Press, while serving hundreds of thousands of monthly visitors.

It is our intention to continue the incredible growth and momentum our site has had over the last few years.

You may notice our site looks a bit different today.
