I used to work for WHOT in the late 90's. I'm curious as to whatever happened to the midday girl...Justine Thomas. The last I knew she was at KDD in Akron but that didn't seem to last long. She and I didn't get along but I still think she has the best radio voice.
Also.. Program Director, Tom Pappas, He was the best PD I've ever had hands down. I wish I knew what I had while I was there. Since then every PD I've had just doesn't get radio. This guy was a true genius and was a fantastic manager. There wasn't one person on the staff who didn't love him.

If anyone knows of whereabouts of former staff members of WHOT I'd love to hear about it.
(I know where Mike Kasper is...as well as Mike Thomas,AC,Kelly,Loboy and Johnny Hartwell)
Some of the names I can remember listening to in the 80's...
Cat Shannon
Todd Allen
Bob Popa still at oldies?


That's all I can remember off the top of my head .....Any info or memories would be great to hear!!
Thanks!

The last I knew, Bob was doing mornings with Joe Byro at WPIC/790 in Sharon. He left WBBG about three years ago, IIRC.

Justine's PD while she was at 'KDD is a regular here...perhaps he can fill in that blank for you. The station now runs former WQMX voice Toni Foxx in middays, voicetracking up from her "day job" at a Jacksonville, FL station.

Last I've heard, Bob was doing mornings at Cumulus news/talker WPIC/790 in Sharon, PA, one of WHOT's sister stations.

Last I heard, Justine was still voicetracking for some small market in Pennsylvania. (I wanna say New Castle?)
