Charleston Radio Personalites of the past

S

spencerkarter85

Who's your favorite radio personalities from Charleston, SC in the past. Since I'm not from the Lowcountry, I would say:

From WTMA: Booby Nash, Bob Riley, Bill Sharpe (now at WCSC 5), and the late greats John Trenton and Keith Nichols.

From WCSC Radio (now WSPO): Mike Hiott (later went to enjoy his career on WCSC 5 and WCIV 4 before retiring near Walterboro).

Who's your faves?
 
The one that comes to mind for me is JJ Scott from the early to mid 70's. I worked with him as an intern at WRJZ in Knoxville when it was top40/rock from '76 to '80. He moved on to PD in Houston and returned to Knoxville for a short while and then on to Chicago. Sadly he passed away about 12 years ago.
 
My votes:

Michael Dee & Kato, Jeff "The Hoser" Williams, and Dr. Barry Hill-Q107

Shadow Stevens, Bo Daniels, Brian Thomas, Kelly Green, "Hoser", Michael Dee, Plash Philips, and Cosmo-95SX

More later,

Robyn

Second the nomination for JJ Scott (Bill Towery). I, too, worked with him at WRJZ in 1979-1980. He was a great air talent, an even greater production director, and a terrific man. I'm honored to have known him
 
I have an aircheck and production sample of JJ from the summer of '78, good stuff. Does anyone have one from his WTMA days?
 
I was lucky enough to work with JJ Scott for a short but great 6 weeks in south Florida at WGMA radio in Hollywood, FL back around 1973-74 when he came down to fill in for the then GM Casey Jones who was forced out sick. I was a teenager at the time and he took the time out of his busy day to show me a lot of on air radio things that I didn't know. Bill was a good man.
 
My votes go to Lori Niks (96 Wave, WEZL), Uncle Miles Crosby (96 Wave), The Woodman & The Cutting Edge (96 Wave), and Lona Ann Lacour (Oldies 102.5, 96 Wave)
