From the mid 70s til 1981 Steve McCoy and Mary Glen Lassiter on 92Q had one of the best morning shows in Nashvillle.
In 1981 Steve went to Atlanta and later Mary Glen joined him at Z93 and both did a sensational instant hit job. In the mid 80s Mary Glen returned to Nashville & Steve teamed up with Vickki Locke to have one of the longest running careers in Atlanta radio.
This weekend Steve was inducted into the Georgia Radio Hall of Fame in recognition of a career rarely equalled or duplicated. It's also been a career given daily hard work. He's a guy who never rested on laurels. Granted the highly competitive market of Atlanta has a drive, but Steve is a rare one bringing a combination of STUDENT as well as STAR. By that I mean he IS a star and handles people with appreciation but also is highly professional as a student of the business and changing culture. He moved from Z93 to Power 99, then for a while to KVIL in Dallas and back to Atlanta at Star 94 and now WSB-FM. His example modeled daily is one we can all learn from.
Steve would probably tell you he credits basic training in Nashville for as part of the groundwork to his success. This town has had a way of being responsive and loyal to people who obviously cared about the audience. From Ralph Emery to Dan Miller and Teddy Bart to Gerry House Scott Shannon and Charlie Chase and many many more we all know, the culture of Nashville was a good example of audiences giving back all you gave and then some. Steve could see by the success of those folks that the job was more than a 4 hr airshift. While many of us would like to see radio like it was then, I'm happy that Steve Mccoy proves that no matter what the business side is doing to our business, he still gives 100%. This honor this weekend is deserved and I guessed some of his old friends and fans here would like to send him congratulations thru the B98.5 website. He's one of those guys who makes this profession look very professional. Nashville can be proud of his career taking shape here.
