Mark Elliott

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 to be on the air at the college radio station he jumped in headfirst. 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, telling stories, and pampering his three grandkids.

Bill Knight

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 in High School. In his free time, he's a motorcycle enthusiast, loves to travel, spends time with family and friends, and most of all, outdoor recreation. He is also heavily involved with the community and church.

Doc Jarnagin

I grew up on Memphis radio in the mid-70s and throughout the 80s where Rick Dees got his start, and I got hooked. Instead of watching TV, I’d listen to the radio, and that’s where I fell 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, which I love.

Byrd

Byrd landed in Chicago, where he worked the legendary Loop for many years. He is an avid concertgoer and has interviewed many artists in his career. Byrd loves playing the Super Hits of the 60s and 70s as he learned to love the music his parents listened to as a youngster. Byrd keeps you company every weeknight!
