Mick Rizzo arrived on that 15Q train in the spring of 1976. I even air checked his first sign on, and he noted he was in San Antonio just 24 hours ago, and now...well, that's radio.
Mick got 15Q up and rolling and then moved down the dial to WKGN 1340 for a while.
Mick had opened his mic at WDRO Detroit, KONO San Antonio, 15Q and WKGN in Knoxville, then Big WAYS in Charlotte, before moving to WAYS sister station WAPE in Jacksonville. Kudos to that company for some very groovy call letters.
This ad of the handsome and debonair Mick is from the spring of 1977.
...and the rest is 101 history!
