97 Rock has a new voice

T

ThePickleReport

According to ALLACCESS.com Joe Kelly is the new station voice of 97 Rock. Although I just tuned in and heard the old voice. I know Joe Kelly has done WCMF sweepers for years.
 
Nothing like bringing a 6 year old thread back to life!  Joe was awarded the gig back in June of 2005 according the date on the original post above.
 
Yeah but we'll give majic a pass...it's Joe Kelly...onetime of Chicago AV and Superspots fame with those slates announcing he was from "beautiful, crime-free Chicago".

Concert spots never had more personality...
 
Chas, I'll go along with that. Remember the "Tops and Temptations" spots he voiced back in the mid-80s for the legendary Motown acts? Great stuff!
 
Not sure I remember the Motown stuff...I've got some old reels from CNY concerts, mostly pop/rock...Weedsport Speedway(You know it's summer when they're rockin' at Weedsport!"), Broome County Arena, Carrier Dome...including Prince's '84 Purple Rain Tour, in a box with a purple label and Joe Kelly's opening line..."the rain...has fallen".

I borrowed a reel deck from a friend and need to hook it up and archive this stuff. I would've done it at work but no more reel decks...unless you count the Otari in pieces back in Engineering...
 
The new question is, will they soon have a new morning show producer?
 
As concert promo voices go.....

How about BILL YOUNG out of Dallas? Is he even still ALIVE?!

Or would it be....

"Saturday Night at 8, it's BILL YOUNG LIIIIIIIIVE!"
