Obit: Beverly Ovelle Lockridge, 72; WRIX's "Bev"

She interviewed me a couple of times on the show for an organization I was involved in and frankly she was just a country gal. I don't know how many times Matt hired and fired her and her biggest problem was the bottle, but truly a very nice lady.
 
So, sad!!! Yes, Bev was a very nice lady who DID win here battle with the bottle back in 1991 (after she was fired by Matt Phillips). She sobered up, and Matt rehired her and she never had any more problems. Poor Matt died in August of 1997. "The Matt And Bev Show" was VERY popular. It greatly grew in popularity in the early to mid 1980`s. I remember when WRIX-FM 103.1 had the booth set up in the parking lot of the Pruitt Shopping Center in Anderson. The Matt and Bev show aired live there from about 1981-1987 (when they built studios over at Watson Village). The booth was in the parking lot right near Dunkin` Donuts! They also did some sports talk shows from that booth. Does anybody have any airchecks of "Matt And Bev" that I can hear? Please post here if you do! Thanks, and R.I.P. Matt and bev!! Now, broadcasting from heaven!
