Where Are They Now?

   
Pat George

Pat started in Radio in the late 70’s at WDAE as janitor (the guy who started it all and hired him, chief engineer Dick Lucas). Worked as janitor until one day when some jock called in sick and he happened to be there, and knew how to run the board! Pat says "The PD told me not to say anything but the call letters and ID; I opened the mic as much as possible!" Turned into lots of part-time on air including news reporter and traffic with Al Ford! 1977. George started driving the Bill Currie Courtesy Van, until several years later he received a call from Scott Shannon wanting to know if he wanted to leave WDAE to be part of the Q Morning Zoo, and do traffic? Hell Yes! Pat continued driving the BC van and did traffic for 20 years doing morning and afternoon reporting, at Q105 with the best, Nancy Alexander, Lynn Claussen Arch Deal, Deputy Mike, and his good buddy (they both have the same birthday) Chuck Bear!

Pat George became promotion director at Q105 for several years until CBS bought it and decided not to let him stay. Pat now works with the Walt Disney Company as Promotions / Production / Talent / Operations Director and janitor for Radio Disney. I guess you could say he came full circle.

Pat has a wife named Amy, 2 great and good-looking kids. Kate a junior at Indiana University and Austin age 5. He says "Radio has been a great ride and I haven’t started looking for the exit ramp yet!"
