Mason Dixon

The most recognized name in Bay area broadcasting is Mason Dixon. The man who drove you home in the days of the old Q 105, from that 100,000 watt ‘Flame Thrower’

Memphis was home to Mason, who got his start in radio early in his life. Various stops later he landed in Los Angeles at KHJ radio working for the Bill Drake gang. Pete Shulte, the Q105 General Manager summonsed him to Tampa and the rest is history.

Mason landed at Q105, where Cleveland Wheeler was already entrenched as the morning man. Scott Shannon was soon to follow, and radio history was in the making. The most dominating format to hit the air waves in years.

Mason left Q105 after the power Pig takeover in the early 90s, headed to Alabama. His stay in Dixie did not last, as he missed Tampa Bay. Mason returned to the Bay area, hooked with with Pat Brooks, Bill Connolly and Jo Jo Walker, and started a very successful morning team at Mix 96.

The came mix 100.7 and finally a return to his old stomping grounds 104.7 where he hosts a morning show on Oldies 104.7. His old sidekicks Jo Jo and Bill are with him.
