Your Dream Airstaff

[The Music Man]

Like I said, I'm going to make a valiant attempt to liven this board up. So my latest topic...if you were PD of a radio station, who would you hire as your airstaff?

MORNINGS - Kidd Kraddick In The Morning (KHKS-Dallas/Ft. Worth). They're fun, relatively unoffensive, and creative.
(HONORABLE MENTION: Bert Show at WWWQ-Atlanta)

MID-DAYS - Dana (was at WFLZ-Tampa). Hella funny, very up to date with dirt and stuff, relatable to females listening at work. She's good
(HONORABLE MENTIONS: Jana at WXXL-Tampa, Shelley Wade at WHTZ-New York City)

AFTERNOONS -  Kasper (WIOQ-Philadelphia) Very good, sort of a night show in the afternoon. Good topics, listener interactive and humorous.
(HONORABLE MENTIONS: Kane at WFLZ-Tampa>almost gave it to him, Kobe at WFBC-Greenville/Spartanburg, Scott Tyler at KDWB-Minneapolis/St. Paul)

NIGHTS - Geller (WWWQ-Atlanta) He's great. Very funny and upbeat, and a nice guy too.
(HONORABLE MENTIONS: Eric Tyler at WNKS-Charlotte, B-Dub at Milwaukee, Dino at WFBC-Greenville/Spartanburg)

LATE NIGHTS - Russ (WAEV-Savannah) He's done well here in Savannah, and I talk to him every now and then on AIM and he puts up with me, so he wins a gig and no honorable mention, LOL.

Mornings- Rick Dees
Middays- Tati (KDNN Honolulu) Hate this Clear Channel station but Tati is good.
Afternoons- Colin Naito (KWYI Kawaihae, HI) the do it all guy there.
Evenings- Bigg Eddie Bauer (WENZ Cleveland)
Overnights- DC Darrin Carlson (KNWB Hilo, HI)

Will add more later.

I like a few of Music Man's picks. Kane and Kasper are excellent jocks for afternoons or nights. Bert Show is good too. I've never heard Russ, but any MD who posts on Radio-Info is all right by me. :)

My perfect airstaff has already been done:

Hot 97, WBHT, Wilkes-Barre, PA mid-90's:

Mornings: Kid Kelly (ex-Z100, now Sirius Hits 1)
Afternoons: Danny Ocean (ex-KZQZ, was at WKCI, not sure where he is now)
Nights: Billy Hammond (ex-Z100, now Sirius Hits 1)

I don't remember who the midday guy was.

If I had to pick some others, I'd go with:

Mornings: John Lander (ex-Eagle 106 and Z100, now at Mix 98.5, Boston). In fact, I'd reunite the Eagle 106 Nut Hut, with Elliot (DC101, ex-Z100 and ex-Eagle 106), Patti Steele (ex-Z100 and ex-Eagle 106), and Danny Bonaduce (no clue where he went)

Middays: Jojo Morales (ex-Eagle 106 and Z100, not sure where he is now)

Afternoons: Toby Knapp (ex-WLAN Lancaster, now WFLZ Tampa) or Joel Katz (ex-PST Trenton, now WSJO Atlantic City)

Nights: Jeffrey T. Mason (ex-Energy Chicago), Tic Tak (WKQI Detroit, ex-Q102 Philly), or Spyder Harrison (ex-Eagle 106, now Sirius Hits 1)

Overnights: Matthew "L.A." Reid (former All Night Cafe host)

He was PD at WMC Memphis briefly, but then left for VP/Executive Editor at FMQB.

Middays:  Jojo Morales (ex-Eagle 106 and Z100, not sure where he is now)

I believe he is co-hosting afternoons at KFMD Denver.

Afternoons:  Toby Knapp (ex-WLAN Lancaster, now WFLZ Tampa)

Toby's a hella nice guy, and is now PD at WNOK Columbia.
