John Summers Biography |
WBJW WMMO WOCL WSBH WXJZ |
Born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pa, Started playing the guitar at age 11, and still do. Got my first taste of big time radio at B-94 Pittsburgh, there was no turning back. (lol) Started at BJ-105 (WBJW-FM 105.1) in February of 1986. The three years I spent there were the most fun of my career. I mean, my first personal appearance was judging a Hawaiian Tropic tanning/bikini contest in Cocoa Beach! ;) I left to be PD at Steve Kingston's station in Charleston, West Virginia. After about two years. I came back to Orlando and was the first PM Drive guy at WMMO(-FM 98.9). In 1993, I was picked up by Scott Sherwood at the old 'COOL 105.9' (WOCL-FM 105.9), where I was a part-timer until 1995, when I got the gig of my life at the legendary 98.7 KLUV, Dallas/Ft/ Worth. I'm still here, part-time now due to budget cuts in '09. I also work full time for Dial Global radio networks doing afternoons on about 35 stations around the country. I can be heard every afternoon on Ray Michaels' "98.5, The Beach" (WSBH-FM 98.5) in Brevard County. I miss Florida, but life is good!! I love being outdoors and still bicycle regularly. A couple of years ago, I even ran a half marathon. |
