Mid-day hosts - who is your favorite?

Though they normally are not the corner stone of their radio station, but worth talking about. Who is your favorite mid-day radio host and why? Or maybe who would be if they are currently not on air or in a different time slot now.
 
If you asked this question 3 weeks ago I would've said it was a toss up between the always excellent Jim Carson and the ever ebullient Mike Sakellarides. Most talk stations have syndicated hosts so for me they don't count. Guess now I'd go with Carson.
Go back 15 years and you would have many more to choose from...
 
Well, I only know of Tonya from KKGO. I don't listen to any others. I think Heather from KFRG is on at this time too, but I don't listen to that as often (because of a little static).
 
Tonya Compos is great in this time slot. Always upbeat and informative and plays a really great mix of today's hits and yesterday's favorites!

Sounds like a liner... You need to finish with the call letters.

it would have been mike sakellarides :( but i do enjoy bryan simmons on KOST, as well as sisanie on KIIS.. shes very upbeat with a lot of energy!
 
It appears this board has become Country oriented. Hard to speak about other stations when you only tune in one. I do know Tonya and she is a good PD too.

Good points about having asked the questions a mere 3 weeks ago and there would have been a lot more answers.

Mine is Mike Sakellarides and his loss to our airwaves is not tolerable. But a little later in the day I love to hear Larry Elder. Have to also admit I have been listening to MyFM and Kari most recently. The week they had no on-air talent was an interesting week.
 
I stream Brian Douglas via the internet primarily as he is a radio personality whose style I really like. IF I am not at a computer I will listen to Tonya Campos at KKGO or My MP3 player....
 
Darn Marv.. I forgot that one. He is great too.


Thank you Rebafan, I loved Brian Douglas as the night guy on KZLA. I hear he is on quite a few stations now.
