Hello!

I am looking for a few people I used to work with at WCBH and at WMGI.

Does anyone know where Rich O'Brien, David Day or Greg Vincent are these days? Are they still in radio? Any info would be greatly appreciated!!!


Thank you~
 
Hey there,
Rich is out in Iowa working for Schwann's I believe. Last I knew David Day was doing radio in South Carolina somewhere, and Greg is working for Ace Mortgage in Phoenix/Scottsdale, Arizona. Hope that's helpful.
 
Matt! good to see you are still alive and kickin'!!

Thanks for your help. I would like to get in touch with these guys to see how they are doing. I miss the old days in radio!!! I am trying to get back in on a part time basis somewhere.

Although I never worked with you, I was alaways a fan of your work. I would like to chat with you sometime about the old days!!! Give me a holla if ya want!

I worked briefly with Greg at WBOW. Funny the places we all end up when our radio days end!
 
No kidding. I am a a manager for a finance company now... I make loans and am a frick'n bill collector!
 
I work in the software industry, testing the code the programmers write. They make it, I break it. jim
 
Worked briefly at WCBH during the dark days of the Dick Hunnicutt reign. He managed to run off most of the decent talent, but for some reason, kept J.D. Sell on the air. 'nuff said.
 
Chuck...did we ever work at Mix at the same time? Your name rings a bell. I used the name Dan Andrews when I was there and worked with both Rich, David, and Leuking.
 
Dan and Chuck good to see that you are doing well. What are you doing now Dan?

Yes! I worked with you for a brief time. I think you were doing the Original "At Work Network". I was not at mix fm for a long period of time... something like 3 months I think. I left to go to WAPE in Jacksonville, Fl. where I did overnights for about 6 months. Where are you now?

Voicetrack... What name did you use back int he day at WCBH? I rememer names like Shawn Murphy and Good Ol' JD sell from that time frame....
 
I'm now a marketing coordinator for a medical company that manages advanced wound care and hyperbarics. NOT EVEN CLOSE to what radio is...lol! Do you guys remember when Tony Manero and Indiana Jones were there too? That was back when Mix was out in that old house in West Terre Haute!
 
Manero was a bad man, and Indiana Jones isn't that Fritz Mosier in Indy?
 
No, I am sure our opinions are the same... ;D

Sarcasm is hard to do on the net!!!!! ;)
 
Did Russ Brink work for WCBH in the early days? I think he's in Madison selling insurance. When did they they sign on? I remember they had a classic hits format.
 
Tony Manero was there back in the Magic 101 days I think.... and yes that was when they were in West T. Soon there after Beau came in and the rest is history....


WCBH Signed on sometime in the 80's I believe... The were Classic Hits 104.3 back then... I know the 1st song they played was Jackson Browne's Somebody's Babe.

Sad the crap a person remembers....
 
WCBH flipped to Classic Hits no earlier than 1986. I remember where I lived when they flipped, and I lived there between 86 and 89.

Somebody earlier asked about "when Mix was in West T" or something like that, and it puzzled me, because when WMGI flipped to Mix they were in a building on 3rd St. But now I get what was meant: the previous formats/call letters on that frequency, some of which were in West T.

I worked with Taylor Brown at WBOW, who once said that when he worked for WVTS (one of those previous sets of call letters), he showed up for work one day to find the building padlocked; apparently, they'd run out of money for operations.

Peace,
jim

100.7 fm signed on June 13th 1960. Previously known as CHR WVTS, WMGI flipped calls and formats to Hot AC as "Magic 101" in 1986. Sometime beteween 1986 and 1994, WMGI flipped again to Soft AC. WMGI went CHR on December 31, 1994. The format change included a smokescreen country format as "Highway 101", then the change occurred an hour later, starting off with "What is Love" by Haddaway. Note that GM Bob Swanson was formerly PD at WMGI, back in its "Magic 101" days. WMGI was sold by Bright Tower Communications, Inc. to Midwest Communications in March, 2005 (along with sister WWSY) for $3.39 million.
 
I was one of those 'talents' that worked there from 90-94. What a time. Shawn Murphy the last I have heard is working as a security officer in the Chicago area at a local hospital there.
