Mike states, "My first interest in radio began back in the late 70's when I would listen to "Lou Kolb on the wireless" everyday. When a friend of mine took me on a tour of the very same station in which Lou was working I was hooked. I knew then that radio was what I wanted to do."

"After changing majors in college from business to Mass Communication, I answered an ad for a part-time radio announcer at a station in Lewisburg, Pa (WTGC). Auditioned, and got the job. Not because I had such a wonderful voice, but because I knew how to operate and wasn't afraid of the on-air equipment. I was so nervous my first night "on the air" (May of 1980), that I could barely place the stylus onto the record. However, just like any other job I got used to it and over the next year I learned the basics for being a good radio announcer."

"In July of 1981 I took a job at WLYC in Williamsport, PA. I was initially hired as just the afternoon announcer, but within a few short months was promoted to Program Director and eventually the morning show. My fifteen years at WLYC was a great learning experience for me. New colleagues, new listeners, and new music. WLYC played the Music of Your Life, the adult pop-standards of the 40's, 50's and 60's. Music I knew existed, but music or artists I did not know. It was a real challenge for me, but I grew to love and appreciate this style of music."
