Panama City...Where are they now?

What ever happened to some of the jocks from Panama City?

Little John Walker on WPFM?
John Dancer on T-94
Chuck Bear on T-94
Rick Braswell on WPAP
BC and Bubba on Pirate Radio
Robbie Raggs on Island 106
Jim Dooley on Sunny 98
Jim "Rock-n-Roll" King on 59 DLP
Chris Kelly on WPFM
Scott Thompson on T-94
Todd Shannon on Island 106

Just curious....
 
Last time I heard about Little John Walker, he was working at a manufacturing plant in Lynn Haven. But that was at least 8 years ago.

BC (Brian Christopher) still lives in Panama City Beach. He does imaging for Clear Channel Stations around the country and does afternoon drive (I think) for a rock station in San Diego via voice tracking. BC is the imaging voice of 94.5 The Fox in PC. As for Bubba, last I heard he was in Jacksonville, although when I ran into BC a couple years ago, he said Bubba was a P.D. for a station, in Georgia or North Florida.

Jim Dooley lives in PC and has his own imaging company.

Jim "Rock-n-Roll" King is an EMT/Paramedic in Bay County. Ran into him when Miracle Strip Amusement Park was closing down. He was there reliving his "Roller Coaster Glory Days" one last time. He had a display up at the coaster load zone talking about his accomplishments.

Todd "The Smash" Shannon is now a member of upper management in the Clear Channel family. If I'm not mistaken, he's now back in Florida working as VP/Marketing for Critical Mass Media, which is owned by Clear Channel. He had been OM for CC's Philly Cluster.

That's all I know about right now.

Hopefully others can fill in the blanks.
 
As recently as last year, Chuck Bare was at WFCT 105.5 FM, an adult standards station
in the Apalachicola/Port St. Joe area. He recorded some liners for a friend of mine who lives
in Lanark Village and runs an internet gospel station.

And, you may or may not know, Preston Young passed away last year from cancer.

I live in Tallahassee, but used to vacation at the beach (Mexico Beach) not far from P.C.
My favorite station back in those days was the seldom-mentioned, now-silent WJOE,
Big Joe 1080 radio in Port St. Joe, Fla.
 
Chuck Bear on T-94 works for WFCT in Apalachicola...studios are in Port St Joe in the old T94 studio bldg
BC and Bubba on Pirate Radio BC lives in Panama City and does imaging for many stations and afternoons on KIOZ in San Diego via ISDN...Bubba is at Clear Channel in Macon GA
Jim Dooley on Sunny 98 Jim is doing messages on hold and imaging here in Panama City
Jim "Rock-n-Roll" King on 59 DLP Jim is an EMT for Bay Medical Center
Todd Shannon on Island 106 works for Clear Channel and is a VP of Programming
 
Charlie --- didn't Chuck Bear work in Nashville and other major markets?
What happened to Mike Stone (WPFM)???
 
as far as I know, Chuck stayed in Mexico Beach after T94....Mike is still in the PC area but completely out of radio
 
About 10 years ago I read something in the trades about John Dantzer programming a station somewhere in Colorado, not Denver but close by. They talked a lot about how he was a born-again Christian.
