Mel Phillips

Worked in Tampa in '65 and '66, starting out doing afternoons at WFLA and then moving to Big WALT where I did mid-mornings (10-2).

After leaving Tampa Mel became Program Director at WRKO-FM and moved over to the same position at WRKO (AM) in '67. He went from there to be PD at WOR-FM, which became WXLO-FM, went to Pittsburgh as PD of KQV and then on to PD of WNBC NY.

Mel was also active in a number of syndicated radio companies (ABC, MJI, United Stations, among others).

Phillips also spent time in promotion positions at CBS (now SONY) records both nationally & internationally.

For the last 5 years he’s been in the programming dept. at WCBS-FM NY where he handles all the specialty programming.

One of the best DJ's ever to work the Tampa Bay area, his accomplishments and air work make him a first ballot Tampa Bay Radio Hall of Famer.

Mel has started a blog called Mel Phillips Remembers:
