Mark Elliott 6a-10a
In his youth, Mark Elliott dreamed of being a “Radio DJ” while delivering papers around his neighborhood. His dad even bought him a small tape recorder to produce his own radio “show.” When the chance came be to be on the air at the college radio station he jumped in head first. Fast forward – Mark has had a long and successful on air career working at radio stations across the country. (Tampa, Cincinnati, St. Louis, Detroit) He loves music and telling stories, and pampering his three grandkids.
Bill Knight 10a-3p
Bill is a radio veteran with over, well let’s just say, many years of experience. He grew up in Fresno California, where he began his radio career while in High School. In his free time, he’s a motorcycle enthusiast and also loves travel, spending time with family and friends and most all outdoor recreation. He is also heavily involved with the community and church.
I grew up on Memphis radio back in the mid-70’s and throughout the 80’s where Rick Dees got his start and I got hooked. Instead of watching TV in the family room, I was in my room listening to the radio and falling in love with the medium. I still believe in the power of radio and the magic it can bring. While radio has changed, the one constant that will always remain is our being drawn to personalities. Radio reflects lifestyles with music, information, and personality. I do love being a part of that and will forever be that kid in his room being drawn to the power of radio.
Byrd landed in Chicago, where he worked the legendary Loop for many years. He is an avid concert goer and has interviewed many artists in his career. Byrd loves playing the Super Hits of the 60’s and 70’s as he learned to love the music his parents listened to as a youngster. Byrd keeps you company every weeknight!
