ON AIR - WEEKDAY PROGRAMMING
Mornings with Leo
6am - 10am Weekdays, presented by:
Leo was born in Georgia and traveled around the eastern part of the United States of America until landing in Michigan at the age of 10. He came to Alpena at 20 and is a graduate of Alpena Community College with a degree in Fine Arts. At a young age, Leo fell in love with media and the positive influence it can have on a community. Leo spends his free time either camping or gaming but also enjoys spending time with his girlfriend and dogs. Taking photos or shooting videos is also some of Leo's hobbies. A fun fact Leo wants to share about himself is that during a road trip with friends, he drove for 24 hours straight from Denver, Colorado to East Tawas, Michigan. The opportunity to wake up with you on the radio and potentially making your day just a little bit better makes Leo very happy and is what helps him come into work. Catch Leo weekday mornings from 6am until 10am and he looks forward to waking up with other early birdies.

Rich was born and raised in the downriver area. Zug Island was his playground. At the age of 7 his parents told him he was adopted. He said he always suspected and asked if he could meet my real parents. They said, "we are your real parents, your new ones will be here in 5 minutes to pick you up". Some of his best childhood memories are cruising down to Sterling State Park in his Dad’s 1965 Chevy Biscayne while listening to Honey Radio. The Bird is a dream come true for him. This IS HIS MUSIC!
He moved to Northern Michigan about 30 years ago and never looked back. He has 3 children and 6 grandchildren.
