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.
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”

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

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.

Star 104.1 & Magic 104 are part of what became Radio 104.1. I was lucky enough to broadcast on Magic 104, do an incredible amount of commercial production (radio ads) at Star 104.1 (in addition to sales) and became the first sales manager at Radio 104.1. I’m proud Radio 104.1 still is playing the best alternative rock on terrestrial radio.
