Whaley) Biography
WELE
Greg lake is originally
from the suburbs of Washington, D.C. and moved to Florida in the late '70s to
attend college in St. Augustine, where he met and married his wife, Kathy. He
started his radio career at WKGR-FM 98.7 (Ft. Pierce, FL) as part-time
week-ends until the station was sold. He followed the "KGR air staff"
to Ft. Meyers and did overnights at WAKS-FM 103.7 until it was sold. Once
again the "radio caravan" came back to the east coast of Florida to
WZZR-FM
92.7 (Port St. Lucie, FL) where Greg continued his overnight show "The
Dead Zone" until the winter of 1994 when he was given the morning drive
slot. Greg stayed there until the spring of 1994 when he was let go for sagging
ratings. Within 6 months of the launch of the Howard Stern show in the
Fall of 1995 on rival WBGG, Greg's ratings were cut in half. Greg moved
to Daytona Beach and started his own advertising agency (Alternative
Advertising). After four years in the ad business, Greg was offered, and
accepted, the Production Director post at WELE-AM
1380, Ormond Beach. After a year, he traded in in his Production
Director duties for Program Director stripes. During the controversial 2000
presidential election, Greg launched a new politically driven, morning call-in
talk show called "Radio Free Volusia" which aired from 7-10am
Monday thru Friday. In January of 2007 the shows hours were changed to 6AM-9AM
Monday thru Friday. |
