1972-1973 Bud Fisher weekends.  Finished college working at WHYN & then WBIS.

WBIS

1973Bud Fisher Weekends.  The station that made Mike Toscano famous.

WILI

1973-1974

“Rockin’ with Bud” Mid-days.  Great station.  Album rock, and we picked out our own music.  Wayne Norman did mornings (and still does!) and is now a really a radio legend along with his UConn sportscasting.  Terry Lee did afternoons and Les Morrell evenings.  Check out WILI’s Website.  See “history”   http://www.wili.com/am/

There is no better place to learn where podcasting, webcasting, satelite radio, broadcasting & sportscasting. 

Dick Robinson & his family are the best.

WCCC

1975                        Gary Hunter PM Drive.  Hired by Rusty Potts, I was a jock at the station 30 years ago

when it switched to album rock.  Recently, I was on-air with Mike Karolyi to reminisce about those early days.  Good to see Picozzi & Jay Schultz again.

WWCO  

Gary Hunter.  Was all set to take over morning show when I caught laryngitis during my weeklong audition.  Now that sucked. 

WQQW 

1975                     Gary Hunter Program Director/ Mornings.  Replaced Jay Crawford who

Went to WDRC.  Jay hated WDRC.  He replaced me, so I did Disco.  This sucked as well.

Dialtone Disco

1975-1978                      Gary Hunter.  Six nights a week.  Hired jocks for three clubs.

Terrific gig.

WCNX   1977 Did fill in during Dialtone years.

WIOF, Magic 104 

1989 Returned to on air working part time for Jack Carney, shortly after Lou Terry passed away.

WMAS-FM          

          1989-1990                           Mornings.  “Mike and the Hunter”.

WTIC-FM    

1991-1992.  Sales.  Sales Manager finalist, which means I didn’t get the job.  So I left.  Gary Craig & Damon Scott are still there. They made sales easy.  Great personalities at events.

WPOP; Star 104.1, Radio 104

1992-1995 Sales (& a ton of production) and Sales Manager.  Bob Lang, Lee Gordon, AJ Austin, the late Judy Jarvis, Jeff Katz, Steve Spencer, Cary Paul, Frankie B., Missy Robinson, Eddie Roland, Tammy Rabbet & many more.  Great place to work.

  Lewney Toonz Comedy Club  

1992-1993 Gary Hunter.  I warmed up the crowd for the comedians during my Star 104.1 era.

WHCN-FM  

 Con-current with Radio 104 & WPOP. Sales.  Picozzi & the Horn.  Litch.  The station is “a waste of a signal” currently. (The River?  Please…)  Liberty Broadcasting killed this station.

WBCN-FM 

1995-1996  Sales Manager. Working at WBCN was a horror show.  The jocks were ass holes.  The PD was a Roman God.  Or Greek.  Sales people didn’t matter. The Sales & General Manager lied.  Everyone was paid well.  But there was no communication.  THE worst.  Great call letters & so it sounded good at the time.

WAAF-FM  

  1996 Sales.  Opie & Anthony were the morning guys.  They were great to work with.  John Osterland was terrific also.

WKCD    

1997.   Sales Manager.  It had to end sometime.  Gary Girarde’s station would be where it ended for me. 

TV Sales, at Cox Communications and Marketing at Northeast Utilities would occupy my next few years. 

I’m back in sales at United Liquors, headquartered in Braintree, MA.  It’s nice to sell something else that I truly believe in.   Go  Huskies!
