Re: Why Ken Jackson went Solo.....

It was amazing and almost unbelievable when Ken told me this story, and to this day, still is unbelievable!
I'm still good friends with Ken, who is out of the radio business, and doing just fine in the insurance industry....

Damn...there more of us in the insurance industry than me and Vin Grecco from JB105.....

i used to listen to it when it was z100... and i think if i can remember correctly... the line up was...
mighty mike 530-10a
jack casy 10a-12p
scott cook 12p-3p
j-t 3-6p
joey foxx 6-9p
and nancy hall 9- midnight
and i think there was somone overnight briefly.. someone correct me if im wrong...
im pritty sure that was it but i also know that people were shuffled around alot and the air staff wasnt stable.... i think after jack left there was nobody from 10a till noon... just sweepers....... thats when you could tell the station was going down hill... although i dont know how many of those jocks were live and who was voice tracked..... but i also think most of the jocks wore other hats around the building i know jack casy was the program director.. i dunno who took over after he left... but i think if citadel gave it just a little bit of a chance.. (and a budget) it might have worked.. especially now when you have a station like b101 startin to play more and more 80s hits

I believe for a majority of the time Z100 was on the air, Melissa (a.k.a Melissa B., or Melissa Moran, now at 93.3 WFLZ Tampa) was on the air 9P-12A, 7 days a week, not Nancy Hall. Nancy Hall was doing weekend shifts on PRO-FM for a while during the same time period. At least that's how I remember things when I was working over there... I could be mistaken though, I try and block out most of that period of employment from memory...

now that you menchion melissa..... i do remember her... and i also remember... from listining overnights while i had the graveryard shift it work.... was carmella doing the "overnight express" on z100.... anyone else remember her... she was on from mid- 530

 

[Hello Salty??]

Who's Wknd 92?? And what part of the insurance industry does he work in?

I know that Scott (Brennan) (B-Man from the Old WBLQ days of the early 90's) Murphy, was, or still is, working for Fidelity Investments....similar to the insurance industry...... (There's another guy that loves his voice......and somehow, has been lucky enough to stay employed, even though his voice can curdle milk)

I'm not familiar with Vin Grecco from JB 105.....what part of the industry does he work in?

 

[wknd92]

wknd 92 is Ted Edwards, former Pro-FM weekends and Lite 105 MD, currently working for Amica; but formerly for Metlife.

Vin Grecco is at Met last i heard and actually, former Pro weekender John Stephens left Met to take my place at the Trail when I left to go to Met and then joined me back at Met while I was there

When people change their names for on air purposes maybe we should avoid disclosing their real last names. What's next? Cell phone numbers? Oh right that was even done once.

I believe all names used in my post are on air names.....
