R.J.
Reynolds R.J. Reynolds first set foot in Tampa Bay in
1972, fresh from his stint at WPTH in Fort Wayne Indiana, where
he worked with Mark Champion. He was hired at WDAE as an evening
jock, later moving on to mornings. It did not take long for R.J. to woo the audience
into a big share of the market. Shortly thereafter, Program Director
Ed Ripley felt he could find gold twice in those hills and brought
Mark Champion into the fold. Two of the best hires he ever made. R.J. Worked a staff featuring Mel Berman, Dan
Grant, Bob McKay & Burl McCarty. Great days at WDAE, battling
WLCY for the top numbers in town. R.J. has worked at WOKY in Milwaukee, KSLQ
in St Louis, KZLA in Los Angeles as well as local stations WFLA-FM,
The Point 102.5, Coast 107.3 and Jo 101.5 His mellow voice is very distinguishable and
has soothed audiences in the Bay area ever since. A multi talented individual, R.J. has written
a book, and several songs, in fact he has several Billboard magazine
song writing awards to his credit. He, his wife and daughter call Tampa home.
