Though many of you may not know him, Steve Versnick, for the last two years the PD at WREC, has been a breath of fresh air in the stale, internecine, inbred sty that is Memphis radio. That breath of fresh air has blown town as of today, headed to Minneapolis where he will start Monday as PD of FM Talker KTLK.
I had the good fortune to work with Steve when he came to Memphis until I retired last March and he was a pleasure to work with. I didn't think there were any young folk around who lived and breathed radio, but Steve proved me wrong. I found him always approachable, always upbeat and positive, and really knowledgeable about anything to do with talk, sports and radio software. He always handled personnel with respect and understanding.
Tim Spencer has his hands full in replacing Steve. I wish him well and hope Steve achieves the success and acclaim he works toward every day. Steve Versnick...one of the good ones!
