Drew served as PD locally for Hot 107.9 until he got sick of the long hours and little pay. Basically he was running a 3 ring circus with only himself and one other jock. I know he moved to the Pittsburg area with hopes of getting back on the air, but not sure if he landed a gig there or not.

No Idea where Johnnie is...perhaps AJ knows? If he does, I am sure he will post
 
I heard Jason Scott on the air at WYSP in Philly a year or 2 ago. I think he was weekend/PT/swing and may have also been the Stern board op. My info is far from recent, sorry.
 
Matt Haywood is on the air in Cleavland. A buch of Rev and Buzz people bounced back and forth then. Beckey Fouse the on rev DJ is married with a newborn in Philly. Rev prod guy JT is with Lucas films! They were all there around that time. Jeff Blazinski in in Columbus. As far as J Walker nobody really knows. Mike Puckett is a COP in the NYPD!

Close, Hitman! Yup, I went on to start and run Hot 1079 for umm.. 2(??) years. Then, as you said, I got sick of the no cash and the hours. I can empathize with Glenn. It sucks to produce the numbers that they ask for only to be shot down when you request resources (both personally and for the station), because they can't sell it.

Hitman is only half-right about the rest. (Well, ok he's dead-on about the three-ring curcus part) I did move back to Pittsburgh, but not with any hopes of gettin on the air. After so many years in radio and pouring my heart and soul into the stations, I was radio-ed out. I had no desire to try to get on the air (part-time or otherwise) and start all over again at the bottom. So I took a "real job." I spent about 4 years handling workers' compensation claims for employees of the commonwealth of PA. I liked it. It allowed me to explore and develop new skills, other than scheduling music, being witty, and begging interns to give up their Saturday Night to run the board for Player's or the Den.

Long story short (or are we beyond that point already?), I worked closely with attorneys on the litigation of workers' comp claims. It didn't take long for me to look at what those attorneys did and say to myself, "Hey, I can do that too!" So, I took the LSAT, attended paralegal classes, and applied to law schools. I was accepted to a few and I chose (cue trumpets)........

Penn State Dickinson!! So I am back in State College. Its great!! I am loving school. Obviously, I still check out the board to hear the gossip and keep an eye on how the people I knew and cared about are doing. I have my opinions about B94.5 and G101.1 and QWK 103.1 and so forth, but I figure that I do not want to come off as another bitter ex-jock, who is angry because he couldn't cut it. So I just enjoy reading the opinions of all of you and keeping abreast (breast hee hee) of the lastest in the local bizz. Never know.. maybe after I pass the bar, I can lobby the FCC to take another look at market ownership!! Nah!! There's no contingency fee in that!

Welcome back to town man...hey wanna make a quick $7.00 per hour running the board for me on Friday Night while I go love from the Club.....SORRY...could not resist!

Glad to hear you seem to be getting your head screwed on into a "real career". I have one of those too...but somehow being Clark Kent all day seems pretty boring...so I have to break into the Superman outfit on occasion and pretend like I still know what I am doing on-air.
 
Jason Scot does indeed work in Philly, but he is no longer on WYSP.

I believe he is the APD at WIP (the sports station) plus he does imaging and a live call in sports talk show. It looks like he has made quite a nice life for himself.

I too always enjoyed listening to him on Quick Rock except on saturday mornings when he was clearly hung over.

Anyone know the whereabouts of much of the "B" Crew of old? How bout Dave Dallow, or Paul Kramer, John Lorinc, Ronnie Fox...and the big question....does anyone know where John Frederickson is....(or is he even still alive)???
 
last i knew, dave dallow was in tulsa, oklahoma. his wife, kim dallow, posted on this board awhile ago requesting info on the whereabouts of christian myers.
 
Dave Dallow IS still in Tulsa...but NOT still in radio. (And I still can't find Christian Freakin' Myers...)
 
Last I heard (about 18 months ago) Christian Myers was married, working with his father in the HVAC business, and living happily in the San Francisco area.

Scott Smith lives about an hour away from Christian, closer to San Jose, if I remember correctly.

John Lorinc, as of early 2006, was working as a reporter for CNN Radio in Atlanta. Do a Google Search on him and a lot of his work will come up.
