After Power 97, John Potter did mornings at KWNR from 1990-1995. He had an extremely popular morning show. From there he went to mornings at the old KKAT/Salt Lake City. He didn't go over well there (he was rumored to have made fun of a Brigham Young statue in downtown Salt Lake). The station ran apology sweepers for several weeks after he left.
After Salt Lake, Potter did mornings at the oldies station in Boston, then TV weather in Bangor Maine, from there I believe it was TV weather in Waco Texas, and then he spent several years doing mornings at the Lotus country station in Reno until losing his job just over a year ago.
I don't know where he is now. Maybe some of the people who read this board up in Reno know where he is.
