Bob Nyles Biography
WDBO WHOO
WWKA WCFB WFLF WEUS
Bob was kind enough to fill in some info about
WHOO-AM
990 during the 70's and 80's. In a very informative email Bob tells
us; "... I came to WHOO as one of the "Sunshine Men" in
June of 1974 as the 6PM to midnight jock. I worked under General Manager Bob
Johnson, followed by Bill Stakelin, then
Max Rein. My
first program Director was Clay Daniels "CD the PD".
About two years later it was Mike Burger,
then Bucks
Braun who was succeeded by Bob Grayson. About two years
later, in 1976 I was shifted to afternoon drive (3-6) and was promoted to Music
Director. My news anchor in PM drive was Alan
Spector, who today, is the morning sidekick for John Boy &
Billy on WHTQ 96.5. We did weekly promotions at
"Sullivan's" (now "Cowboys" on the Trail) and then later at
"Images" on west 50 at Pine Hills road. In 1979 I decided to
make some real money so I went into the sales department at WHOO AM & FM. By this time
WHOO-FM 96.5
had switched from Beautiful Music to Country. I relinquished my afternoon
drive shift to "Large" Larry English
and went on to become
quite successful in the sales end until several management and format changes in
1988. At that time General Manager Max Rein bought Rosemont Country
Club and he hired me as General Manager there. For the past ten years I
have been in the Production department at "K-92 FM" (WWKA-FM
92.3), WDBO-AM 580 and "Star 94.5"
(WCFB-FM 94.5). I also host and produce
several "Ask the Experts" talk shows on WDBO
each Saturday morning from 6 a.m. till noon. |
