Marissa

Marty
I know Tom West is Tom Looney on Fox Sports Radio.
I wonder what happened to all of them.
Marissa just worked for AMN while going to school. As far as I know she stayed out of radio after graduating.
Marty took over programming for me when I left and then went to Nashville and was working promotions for artists such as Martina McBride the last I heard from him.

sorry needed to amend.....it was scott finkle who took over programming for me....
some other WMAJESTERS were Roger Cory, Mike Donavan, Willie Nelson, Scott Porter, Dave Jacusckie (i know i messed up the spelling)... and who was the little african american guy that did mornings for a few years in the yearly 80"s. He was off the charts fun to talk too. (Greg something i think...maybe). Missy Stover, Steve Jones, Melanie Lenze (whom i swear i heard on Fox News Radio nationally the other day).
B-103sters "X - 103, The Music Fm" in early 80's Kevin Slick, Bob Bartalamao, Ron Adams (boy did i pull that name out was the Pd) and Jay Parks (Jerome Epple) & Mark Thomas (who had a tremendous voice)..Also a guy named Bill worked there (can't remember his last name) and took over pd duties after Adams left.
I could name more names at other stations, and will if this thread keeps legs.
Todd Jeffers was a 100% wild man though... i partied with him and he could drink anyone out of the room and still not turn into an A-Hole... but be extreamly funny.
Joe Trimarchie was the ringmaster (GM) at that time.
Jack Culp was a class act that is a class act.

Two more names, both from news from when I was there, 79-81:
Steve Abbott, ND. Worked after that at a Philadelphia sports scores service, but I lost track of him after that.
Pam Wilson, anchor/reporter. Excellent young voice, good writer. Got married, moved to (?)Texas(?) and I lost track of her there.
Steve Jones was doing sports then, too, starting his epic career.
GoToGuy: It was Dave Dzikowski (damn hard name to spell), as mentioned higher up in this thread.
A young fellow with a distractingly sing-songy voice named Balogh (BAY-log) was our "meteorologist" because AccuWeather was with the gang cross-town.

whew...too much talent on this board. I'm going to do what John "The Maverick" McCain pulled before the debate. I will be flying back to Washington as soon as possible to get this mess straightened out. I have also cancelled the Letterman show. I am most surprised that many of these folks aren't in the big markets by now. You know, the A & P's, Giant Eagles, etc. I guess Sheetz would be considered a secondary.

Are you the same jock who used to do WQWK way back when? I used to listen when I was traveling through SC. Haven't been there in a long time though. I apologize and I haven't followed up on A-J-SC radio until I discovered this site 8). Just wanted to satisfy my curiosity. Many thanks.

Because I love what I'm doing. Bobby decided not to stay with the company after the sale. Bobby is now over at WOKW.

This radio business doesn't seem to spawn much loyalty. I mean no disrespect to you folks in the biz, but it seems there are a lot of you people who can't decide what you want to do, where you want to do it. For Pete's sake settle down and
try holding the same position for awhile.
Has WCPA changed? Last time I was in Clearfield installing a satellite dish it sounded like WCPA was playing a satellite oldies format. But if I follow along on the score card some guy who used to be here, then there, then over here is now PD at WCPA. Did the satellite get unplugged, and if so could you let me know if any old parts need hauled away? Oh, and is the St. Charles Cafe still in business? Great lasagna!

You hit the receiver on the head Mr. All Night Satelite. It's not the business that is unstable, it's the damned folks who work in it. The towers don't move, the physical plants don't move all over the danged country, it's the people in the industry. By the way, do you think I should start serving lassange in my wagon? I could pre-cook the stuff and then re-heat it while "on location".

WCPA is live morning and midday and is still using the satellite oldies format....yes I've been around....but have also been in the State College market since '80. It's also nice to work different formats. No old parts need hauled away...engineers took care of that and yes the St. Charles is still there.
