WMLO
1972 Bud summer 5-8PM. Summertime 1972, I got a call from an Emerson buddy,
Bill Barry. He got me my first commercial radio job, at WMLO.
WHYN-FM
1972-1973 Bud weekends. Finished college working at WHYN & then WBIS.
WBIS
1973 Bud 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 sports casting. Terry Lee did
afternoons and Les Morrell evenings. Check out WILI’s Website. See “history”

70’s. Staff included PD & Morning Guy Kevin O’Neill (Brownell)
WRCQ

Lou Terry (mornings) Kent Clark (Mid-days) Bob Marx (PM Drive)
1974-1975 Con-current with WRCQ & WCCC. Instructor at CSB.
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.
WWCO
Gary Hunter. Was all set to take over morning show when I caught laryngitis
during my week long audition. Now that sucked.
WQQW
1975 Gary Hunter Program Director/ Mornings.
Dialtone Disco
1975-1978 Gary Hunter. Six nights a week. Hired jocks for three clubs.
WCNX
1977 Did fill in during Dialtone years. Most notably doing morning drive during
that jock's vay-kay.
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 - MAGIC 104; STAR104.1, 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
extremely hard to work with. 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 Account Manager. Opie & Anthony were the morning guys. They were great
to work with. John Osterland was terrific also. Wrong time, I had to move back to
Hartford.
WKCD
1997. Sales Manager. It had to end sometime. Gary Girarde’s station would be
where it ended for me.
