Greetings, neighbors, I'm Randy Turner, “The Ran-Man”. I'm proud to say that I've had a career in radio for over 23 years and I've worked many formats from country to rock, oldies and adult contemporary, top 40 … hey, in this business, you've got to be adaptable. Probably the biggest highlight of my career has been creating the format for Classic Hits 92.9 WBPM. We present a unique version of the format and we're all really pleased with the overwhelming positive response we've received to the station since its launch on Feburary 1st, 2007.
I'm very passionate about radio; it's definitely “in my blood”. In addition to my on-air work over the years, I've designed, engineered and hosted numerous long form programs and special features including "The Music Blimp" on Saturday nights and my annual "Celebration Of The Season" which can be heard at Christmastime here on Classic Hits 92.9. I do free-lance voice-over and production work for radio, television and video projects all over the country and I'm an audio mastering engineer. Yes, I was the Audio Visual Geek when I was growing up … and I'm proud of it.
I'm not into sports at all. Never was. I don't spend my weekends horizontal on the couch sucking on beer can after beer can. In fact, I once mentioned, on the air, that I never liked sports … that I was the AV Geek in school and I turned out OK. A woman stopped to see me at a station appearance a few weeks later and said “Thank You”. Her husband had been pushing their son into sports against his wishes. She told me that, because of what I said, she found the strength to help her son explore the things that he wanted to which included classical music and computers. I told her that he'll learn as much about “team spirit” from those things as he would from running around a field chasing a ball. In fact, he probably learned more.
I'm a big British TV fan. Absolutely Fabulous, Coupling, Fawlty Towers, French and Saunders, Footballer's Wives, Hustle, Little Britain, Mile High, Mr. Bean, and The Vicar Of Dibley are some of my favorites. There are a few BBC Radio shows I enjoy including It's Been A Bad Week and The Now Show.
Meanwhile, back in the states, on TV I enjoy “24”, Amazing Race, Big Brother, Freaks and Geeks, Friends, Home Improvement, Las Vegas, Mad About You, NewsRadio, Northern Exposure, Seinfeld, Spin City, Sports Night, Survivor, That 70's Show, The Daily Showand the all-time classic WKRP In Cincinatti.
And from the movies category: Caddyshack, The Abyss, The Italian Job (2003), Oceans 11, 12 and 13, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Meet Joe Black, Apollo 13, Armageddon, Face/Off, U-571, The Bourne Identity and Supremacy, Catch Me If You Can, 2010 The Year We Make Contact and pretty much all the James Bond movies.
Thanks for listening to Classic Hits 92,9 WBPM and I'll be looking for you around town! |
