Former Atlanta Radio DJS-Where are they now?

[jhead]

What ever happened to Dave Marino from Z-93? I know he did weekends on Kicks in the late 2003 and early 2004 then went to one of the sport stations. Is he stll there?



Plus what ever happened to his co-host Monte?

 

[RoddyFreeman]

Isn't Dave Marino the voice of 790 The Zone?

Wasn't she the 4th mic on 99x for about a week when Sean, Leslie & Jenners debuted? Then landed another gig in the Pacific NW, as I recall ...

Anyone remember Mark McKain from 96 Rock back in the 80s? I have a few airchecks of when he and Steve Mitchell did mornings.

I still laugh at the Bachelor Cookbook ideas they came up with.

Craig Ashwood has posted to this board. What's he up to these days?

Lots of Nikki Nites out there, but is former Star 94 Nikki the PD for Movin' in DFW ?

Last I heard Craig Ashwood was doing the VOs for Outback commercials.

I always liked the Bachelor Cookbook--always using a blender. My favorite ingredients were stale beer left over from the last night's interview with KISS and a can of tuna ("What brand is that tuna?" "9 Lives!")

Craig Ashwood, last I heard, was working for Cox Radio Interactive. As Director, Site Services, he was overseeing the website design and operation for all of the Cox radio stations.

Oh man, memories! I *need* to dig those tapes up!

I remember macaroni and cheese, egg and peanut butter. In the blender.

And I must add one personality that I really do miss hearing on the radio. Keith Kalland. May he rest in peace and may he be entertaining those wherever he may have gone to with in as many words.

"And remember, you have all weekend to get home!"

Re: Bachelors Cookbook....Thanks for remembering one of my creations all these years. I was the consumate bachelor living on swingin' Buford Highway back then and the idea for that bit wasn't too far from the truth for me.

The blender was a part of every recipe.

Oh, all the classic bits from those years in the early 80s on 96 Rock...Helium Monday, Up Yours Friday (a G-rated version of the FU Line), The Monday Morning Blahs ("Haven't you ever heard of 'Prell Toothpaste'?!?!"), Wake Up Call to Russia (equipped with a cherry bomb on Fridays), Poetry Corner with Rocky & Bullwinkle (reciting lyrics of rock songs in a dramatic, poetry-slam style), Mr. B and the B-Team...my favorite bit was the one when the B-Team met Wolfman Jack, and the kids said he wasn't the "real Wolfman" because he didn't sell furniture, so Mr. B clocked him (as usual), Dr. Ruth...my favorite there was her therapy interview with Tom Shane using real commercial samples (including the fact that people called him a "twerp" - taken from one of his mentions of Antwerp).

Scary thing was, this is what constituted "edgy" back 25 years ago...and got 96 Rock and Mark McCain's Wake Up Crew banned from anal Dunwoody-mother car radios. I'd hate to see what they would think of TRG, even the cleaned-up v3.0.

Nobody has topped that since, while remaining safe for the whole family.

I will have to invest some serious time into digging through all these cassettes of mine to find the airchecks I recorded. I do have at least one Mr. B on tape. I have the Roach Race. (The first bug in the new parking lot here at Century Center!" Got some Bachelor Cookbooks, a few of Rockline in their entirety. And of course, most of it isn't labeled, so I get to listen to a whole lot of it. I have a very good tape deck and plan to take a lot of it to digital.

I do have the moment when 94Q flipped to Star94 in good quality and that one *is* marked. Pretty sure I have the power 99 to 99x flip. And a favorite that aired one morning on the 96 Rock Morning Crew: Whamco Petroleum.

"Whamco Petroleum. We may not have all the answers but we're big enough to be questionable!"

And here it is! In this day and age of paying $4 per gallon of go-go juice, I actually dug this up weeks ago for the guys at work. The quality from this tape was surprisingly good after all these years. Hopefully an indicator of how the others have fared.

Where are Machine Gun Gary, Bill Travis, Joann Liner Haynes (Shana) from Z-93 circa 1977? Where is Alan Harrison from WAOK from 1977? Where is Mitch Faulkner from the soul station that Zappis Communications owned in 1985?

You can get a lot of these on airchexx.com. Someone had a link a while back to the 94Q-->Star94 flip. For some reason, this is a very readily available aircheck. Not sure why this flip was so popular...although it was heavily promoted, so maybe that's your reason. I wasn't a big 94Q listener but heard the flip live because it was promoted in the AJC.

Scary thing is I still sometimes refer to 94.1 as "94Q" and 92.9 as "Z93".

Where is Mitch Faulkner from the soul station that Zappis Communications owned in 1985?

Mitch Faulkner was on the air here much more recently than that. He did afternoon drive on Kiss 104.1 as recently as probably 3 years ago. I believe he's in Houston or possibly Dallas. He also has a worldwide voiceover business and might still voice Kiss.

Last I heard a few years back, Scott Woodside was still living in the Atlanta area. I think at the time he was doing some freelance work from a studio in his home, plus he had started a business selling various types of real nice pen and pencil sets. My wife met him several times at her work, and he was really a nice guy.

Two other updates: Neil Williamson (morning sports on 94-Q in the 80's) is director of sports marketing for the Cox radio stations in Atlanta & host of the Bulldog Tailgate shows in the fall, and Eileen Kimble (Fox 97 & 94-Q I think) now works at Georgia 105.1 FM in Helen, GA.

By the way, does anyone have any idea whatever happened to Jeff McCartney or Dain Shulte from 94-Q in the mid-80's, or Coyote McCloud from WQXI in the mid-70's? He ruled the nighttime at that time. And how about Dale O'Brien, a great voice who was around Atlanta for a LONG time?

Yes Steve Mitchell is still doing voice overs in Atalnata and other places. He was one of tweileve people fired from Kicks/Eagle on February 29. Moby who did mornings on Kicks from 1990-2002 has his own syndicated radio show. it's heard in Atlanta on 92.5 the Bear in Griffin,but it's hard to pick up if you don't live on the southside of Atlanta. The best palce to hear him is on 106.1WNGC in Athens,he's also on South 107 in Rome,but if you live south of Marrietta you can't pick it up.

McCartney is in Jacksonville doing VO's, promotion and AR work with Hits Magazine. You might have heard him do the voice-over for Curry Honda in Atlanta. Dain is in Oklahoma, I believe, still trying to form a radio group. Coyote was doing a morning show with Rhett Walker (another QXI jock) somewhere in the southeast.

WTSH South 107 has a CP to move their tower closer to ATL and up their power a tad.

I can pick up WTSH in Gwinnett County as is, but not well. If I want MITM I will listen to WNGC (natch).

According to radio-locator.com, they will city-grade all of Cobb and part of N. Fulton with the move.

Didn't know that Coyote started here - I grew up in Nashvegas and he was a radio fixture FOREVER.
